Like the title says I will have replaced 3 p/s pumps within the past year. All of the pumps have been reman pumps, 2 from Auto Zone and the latest one I am going to replace is from Checker. All of the pumps have been leaking severely from the back of the pump where the reservoir and pump meet. The last pump I replaced was because the bearings blew and I’ll admit it’s probably because I did not monitor the fluid level like I should have. I wish I could just chalk it up to bad reman parts, but 3 pumps? :flamemad:
To give a little background on the steering upgrades I have performed. About 2 years ago I upgraded my steering to the HD Currie system (Tie Rod and Drag Link), and to a Durango gearbox with a C-Rok Brace as my old steering box was getting ready to die plus I wanted a stronger steering box to help with the beefier Currie system.
I am thinking that this time around instead of going with another reman I would buy an AGR Performance P/S pump with a remote reservoir in hopes avoiding any more issues. Is going with a brand new more powerful pump going to fix this or are there other things I need to consider?
Any assistance or insight you can give me is greatly appreciated.
