This is how I got more pressure and volume out of my Explorer 5.0l power steering pump. I don't have any numbers to share. Only that it made a big difference in my steering with the RAM assist and 40" tire's.

Thank you for this! I'm going to have to figure out how to do similar on my Jeep WK pump; it's a bit different than these, but you gave me a starting point!

Ive pulled apart several later 4.0 c3 pumps and they dont have the node sticking out, its a smooth shuttle valve. I imagine they have a smaller hole than these too

I have found that the node was on 97 and up as a rule. I think the node is there to limit flow in a stock application.

Would I be able to achieve the same with a reducer on a smaller hose. I’m lookin to put in a power steering cooler. But it’s a 5/16 fitting not the standard 3/8. What’s ur thoughts

I did this to my F250. Steerings way better when its not moving. The pump is loud now. Lets see how long its lasts. Did ur pump get loud?

My pump did not get loud. Is it possible you have air in the system?

Hi can you help me getting my power steering pump modified. I want it to be 25% more lighter.

Can I do this without removing the pump and/or draining the PS fluid?

@Fordtruckfan89 Жыл бұрын

Question on a stock application my explorer has a new rack and pinion, reman pump, steering assist is lacking at idle, would just removing the restrictor nipple keep the pressure the pressure the same but help with the lack of flow? Not trying to blow out a new steering rack from excess pressure.

I'm not exactly sure. It couldn't hurt it. You may consider putting an underdrive pulley on it to make the pump spin faster at an idle

It all works great. Runs by Ram assist well.

How did ypu get the shuttle valve out, Mines stuck.

@Low_Key_Offroad Жыл бұрын

You should be able to pop it out fairly easy with a small punch. Not sure why yours is stuck.

@VileMisanthropy Жыл бұрын

@Low_Key_Offroad honestly, I think its the "reman" pumps I'm getting, there rust residue inside. I did get it out through the bottom with a punch, shouldn't these move freely?

@Low_Key_Offroad Жыл бұрын

@@VileMisanthropy yes it should move freely.
