For a bit more you can get OEM from Toyota.

Oops! You're right. I just bought an OEM PS pump for my FJ62 which are still available!

Barring a Saginaw conversion, best option today for an OEM style aftermarket pump replacement? This and a rebuild of the leaky steering box are next on my ever growing list of issues to address.

My truck also has some leaky hoses and or pump. Maybe the box as well. Kinda hard to tell. Would definitely like to know the simplest route to address the problem.

Just did a Saginaw conversion after trying a Lares pump from Summit (groaned bad, but no leaking) and rebuilt my OEM pump (worked ok, leaked a mess 3 months after rebuilding it myself). Contact Valley Hybrids @orangefj45 and hook it up. Never have to worry about it again. Link to my install.

City Racer lists the aftermarket pump but currently not available, I've read that @wngrog has had some good luck with them. For just a few bucks more you can get the Saginaw kit, new high pressure hose with the correct fitting, and the pump from Autozone.

No one has any Toyota pumps anymore. City Racer no longer gets his repros. No idea why he stopped. Roger, what's the reason? @Racer65

I think I have 1 new OEM PS pump left.
Worth its weight in gold.

When I went to the dealer a few years back to order one, they told me I got the second to last one in inventory, whew. If the leak is happening between the reservoir and pump body, the o-ring can be replaced with an off the shelf one. I did this on an old PS pump and just measured the old one and ordered from McMaster-Carr.

The design is antiquated. It's very difficult to assemble and even with meticulous attention it's still prone to leaks. I'm exploring a new direction to potentially replace it with an electric hydraulic pump that won't require a belt.

Yup. We have three OEM on the shelf that are going to fund Johnny’s retirement.

I saw somewhere (@OGBeno may have posted a video?) that the Heritage Parts program may be making them again, but it won't be cheap, in the $600 range if my JPY to USD conversion was close?

They are remaking them for the B series engine family. Not the F.

Bummer. Wonder how they are different.. if it's just the reservoir outlet location or something more technical.

quite different

Correct.

 

[timexlost]

So, are there any reasonably decent P/S pumps available or is it all a crapshoot? Of course mine just started leaking

I'm hoping the one I have also funds my retirement,
