Modded steering pump.
- Thread starter Evan03
- Start date
The pump still bolted to my xj was set up for more pressure.
I made a socket.
Its spring was slightly longer it also didn't have the small washer.
I drilled passage to 5/32 and cleaned the screen.
It might be temporary but it now steers great again

Think this is the first I've seen of this mod. Got any links to share for more reading?

Curious if an underdrive pulley would help

Suposebly it does help theres mention of smaller pulleys on pirate but I didnt find any though I didnt put much time into it.
I did take the electric fan off the parts jeep and wired it into my jeeps factory wires. Supringly the dam thing turned itself on. It appears it may actually help cool the power steering pump.
Do all xjs have electric fans?

I doubt the early V-6 years had electric.
I don't know about the Renix years, but my guess is yes.
I am fairly certain all the H.O. years do.

Yes Renix jeeps have an electric fan.
You took apart a power steering pump from your parts jeep to replace the one you have that is dyeing? Most people replace the power steering pump with one from a Grand Cherokee. There was a discussion about drilling out the fitting and apparently it is not advised as it can lead to cavitation. I think 5/32 is the exact size someone mentions as being okay to drill out to.

I havent replaced it. Took apart the pump out of my mock up jeep to learn. I guess I learned something.
Did the mods to the pump in my jeep and cleaned.
It makes a whine at 2500rpm and above but not bad I have drilled the port over the recommended size now. Maybe cavitation.
Not to shabby going from being almost unable to steer to light easy steering on the trail for free.
When this modded pump decides to go ill do the v8 grand pump. Probly take it apart first to see if its any different than these two pumps ive already taken apart. So far both the ones I've seen inside where set up for different pressure

Which V8 Grand pump is suggested as mine almost completely gone? Or a modded XJ stocker?
Thanks

Thanks

Im not sure. Also not sure whats different I think its just the 1450 psi pump all washer removed and a slightly bigger resivor. I kinda stopped researching there since my stock ones working again.
The v8 grand might have other internal mods.
I'd drill stocker to 5/32 remove washers strech inner spring to 2" and clean spring. Thats what revived my pump. It still gets hot but I went from not being able to steer to having good steering
