PSC 4.6" power steering pulley?

[RCP Phx]

Is there enough adjustment in the idler pulley or do you need a shorter belt?

 

[sandfreestyle]

Shorter belt for sure. 94 - 94.5" works well. 94.75 will work but it's at the max end.

 

[cal]

Shorter belt yes, length depends on year. My last rig ran a 100.5" belt with that pulley, but we had a mix of early and late accessories.

 

[RCP Phx]

Mine's are both 2000"s.

 

[sandfreestyle]

Didn't know the belt length changed over the years. Mines a 94

 

[RCP Phx]

Is there a "application" for those belts?

 

[sandfreestyle]

I looked the number on my belt and then looked at 6 rib accessory belts on Summit that were about 2ish inches shorter

When I changed to that pulley on my 96 I went with a 1" shorter belt.(95"IIRC)

 

[RCP Phx]

Mine already use a 95" belt!

Ok after last reply I checked the spare under the seat- NAPA # 25-060938
what is on it now-Dayco# 5060940
So if I,m reading the code right it is a 93.8 to 94 " belt .

I have not found a active K060940, but K060938 and K060935 are active numbers which correlate back to the late 90's Chevy/Gmc trucks(most models). I did find a Gates data page.

Since my current belt is a 950 and I'm almost out of tension adj (plenty of slack adj) I will p/u a 935 to start. Math says I need a 1.4" shorter belt so that's a good start. My AN fittings and pulley from PSC should be here tomorrow and my cooler on Wed.

 

[RCP Phx]

I've finally got most everything together(waiting on 1 thing) and will install it Wed!

That elbow in the white pkg looks looks the one I used. ZJ?

 

[RCP Phx]

Finally received the 2 high pressure fittings so I'm good to go!

 

[RCP Phx]

So yesterday I got the pulley installed and the '935 belt seems perfect! I got the high pressure hose done along with a full change out to EBC Yellowstuff pads(WJ/KJ). Today I'll make the mounts and this weekend I'll pull the bumper to install my cooler and the rest of the stainless lines.

 

[RCP Phx]

It's finally done but not without being a headache in the mean time. I got a major leak from the reservoir, I evidently knocked the o-ring loose when doing the pump fitting . I had to flip the mounts over(compared to my trans cooler) because of the arch in the header panel. Most of the fittings that I thought would work, DID'NT! I had to use 3 different grades of SS lines to fit everything up. I'll post pics tomorrow

 

[RCP Phx]

It's busy, but .........

 

[RCP Phx]

I finally got a chance at some hard wheeling today! It was almost like driving with ram-assist. Unfortunately I forgot to take my IR thermometer, but it never once "talked" back to me! To recap the entire system:

2000 XJ
PSC power steering pump
PSC power steering box
PSC 4.5" overdrive pulley
PSC AN fittings (pump/box)
Hayden 7" x 11" plate/fin cooler w/ AN fittings
All SS braided lines
93.5" Gates belt

You replaced just the pulley and cooler this go round right? Did the pulley change it pretty significantly? Been wondering how much the pulley can change the feel.
