Yes it came with the spring and relief valve. When I unscrewed the variable assist sender for this picture, it pushed the sender out when the threads cleared.
Pulled the power steering pump. Took 40 minutes this time. Last time it took 2 hours. Waiting for the bypass fitting to arrive tomorrow so I can reinstall. Definitely had the seal in the right position on the oriface.
The spring and plunger fell out of the old pump and I put them back with the plastic plug cover them.
Pump is coming out again today. The bypass is arriving tomorrow.
Yesterday we fished. Did 5 miles of walk/wade fishing on a side channel of the Bitterroot and my legs feel it. Friend got a...
OK that is the sender + orifice. I am now wondering if the sender got broken during removal/install, as it can be rotated with the Big Nut torqued down.
Do they even sell those senders anymore?
What is this big nut you speak of? The variable valve has a large nut on its base. Otherwise, the remaining nuts are on the two posts for the bracket to the block.
Do they sell new variable valves?
I will order Marty’s variable valve bypass to get this going. I hate becoming an expert on...
So the top side fittings screw into were the sender goes and the pressure hose screws into the nut at the bottom of the picture?
What does this set-up get you? Does it eliminate the variable assist?
Per Paul, I’ve confirmed hoses are installed correctly. Really the hose lengths dictate which pipe nipple they can go on.
So after experiencing the pump not working (wheels are hard to turn while the front is up on jack stands, almost impossible to turn while on the ground), I attempted to to...
Got the Power Steering Pump installed, but it is not working. I think that maybe I got the hydro boost outlet hose and inlet hose swapped at the pump. I have it on the circled pipe:
The pipe next to it has the top left hose from the steering box. Fill it with fluid, put on jack stands...
