My power steering pump went out. Symptoms where excessive foam in the P/S reservoir and bad whine at first. After this, I began to notice a bad leak from the P/S pump. My options were 200 for a reman pump or 54 for a 1992 Chevy S10 Pump with a 2.5L. I got a fenco reman pump at Advance Auto for 54 and borrowed their harmonic balancer puller and pulley installer kit free. You will need a heavy duty impact to remove the old three bolt spindle off the old pump (use harmonic balancer puller). You will also need the impact to put it back on the new pump (use pulley installer kit). I got a new hose with a 90 degree bend b/c this pump has a straight barb. Hose was in the back of advanced and was 12 bucks. Pump is working great and lots of money saved. Hardest part was getting the darn spindle off and you will definitely need a heavy duty impact for this or take it to a shop and pay 5 dollars for a mechanic to install.

 

Do you have pics?
What mods did you have to make to make it fit if any?
Other than the different hose.
What fluid did you use in the system?
Did you retain your original power steering reservoir?

 

Perfect fit and retained the stock reservoir. I changed out the atf to valvoline maxlife power steering fluid as I heard it works better in this pump. Pump bolts to existing mounting bracket perfectly. Getting the spindle off the old pump and on the new was not easy but with the right tools can be done in 15mins (impact and pullers). Only mod needed was a hose with a 90 degree bend and in. Note: this was on a 1998 Disco I and do not know if this will work for a DII.

 

Thank you.
If you can get us a part number or application for the hose and some pics we can add this to the tech section.

 

Ok, I will try to get a pic of the pump and the product number off the hose later tonight.

 

Definately valuable info! Thanks!

 

Yes. Due credit must also be given to "post" at lrrf. This is a hidden gem for a mod. Advanced Auto Parts Part No. SP16327 for the pump.

 

Very good information that should be useful to all eventually. Thanks for sharing.

 

Amen. This is a great cross reference. Thanks for finding this. Now if we could find a cross reference for a power steering gearbox then that would take care of one of the expensive parts on these trucks.

 

Hi!!!
I would like to do this conversion in my D1, but also one of my projects in the future is to put a hydraulic winch on the truck. If I do the conversion, will I have problems with the hydraulic winch?

Thanks!!!
