This has been in the works for what seems to be way too long ......
We've built a few prototypes and they've been up and running for a while. Came up with is final design after collaborating with another fellow mudder Brad and then modifying that design slightly a couple of times we've finally come up with a kit we're happy with!!!!
The factory 2F ps bracket is retained and slightly modified to work as a cradle for the sag pump.
The kit costs $129 and consists of:
Adapter bracket, spacer and hardware
Pulley
Belt
SAE fitting for HP PS hose
And you will need the proper sag ps pump and cap. We've successfully used Autozone pump #7023 from Duralast or TruGrade. And you'll need the cap part # 82581 from Help products.
We can also supply the already modified OEM bracket for $79 but we need your bracket in exchange. If you want to to buy the bracket outright then it's $178. We have some in stock; once we modify them they're bead-blasted and then painted so they're ready to be installed.
Shipping for the kit runs $25 with or without the modified OEM bracket.
We also offer replacement high pressure hose along with a section of low pressure hose for $99.
Installation instructions:
1) remove the factory, PS belt, pulley, pump, high-pressure line, low pressure, line and PS pump bracket.
2) at this point, you will either need to modify your existing bracket or grab the modified bracket if you purchased one from us.
3) now it’s time to locate the adapter brackets we supply, as well as the power steering pump mentioned above. This should’ve been sourced from a local auto parts store.
4) bolt the adapter bracket to the power steering pump.
5) attach the power steering pump to the modified power steering bracket with the hardware supplied in our kit.
6) install the power steering pump pulley. Please note that the pulley has to be installed with the proper tool. If you use a hammer, it will destroy the pump. And make sure that the pulley is installed in the proper orientation. The center of the pulley has a small grooved hub on the forward facing side that is utilized to remove the pulley from the pump if needed.
7) install the entire assembly back onto your engine block with the factory hardware.
8) install the new section of low pressure line as well as the modified high-pressure line. Keep in mind that if you did not purchase a modified high-pressure line from us, you will need to modify your own line. The fitting at the pump needs to be changed to a standard fitting. The metric fitting will not fit properly.
9) installed a replacement belt provided in our kit. You will notice that this belt is slightly narrower than the factory belt. The belt supplied will work perfect. Also, replacement belts are readily available at your local auto parts store.
10) add fluid to the system and go through the steps below to bleed the entire system properly.
Take your time when you bleed the system!
Easiest way:
- Put front axle on jack stands; to take the load off the PS system.
- Fill ps pump almost to the top.
- Start engine, run for 3-5 seconds. Shut it off.
- Fill pump.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until fluid level stays constant.
- Start engine and SLOWLY turn wheel for 3-5 seconds. Shut off.
- Fill pump.
- Repeat 6 and 7
- Once fluid level stays even and you can turn the wheel lock to lock you’re done.
Be patient, take your time.
