power sterring pump

[johnroberts0]

I have a constant whine from my power steering pump, is there a heavier duty pump that I can get for A 97 Taco with 37's

My pump whines too. If your power steering doesn't work, change out the box for a rebuilt one.

You can mount a chevy pump in there. Not too bad to do really. Little fab work and some fittings/lines.

Will the Chevy pump be sufficient to make up for what is needed for ram assist set up? IE more fluid, bigger res. higher pressure to make it all work well? Does that work with the Toy steering box?
send pics please

captkirkyota@cox.net

like you did not have it already though.

The toy pump can power 1.5" assist no big deal. Im running a 2", thats a lot of the reason I went with a larger pump after frying this one. And yes, drill and tap the IFS box, and run hydro off it no problem.

Kirk, Ill send a couple pics of the pump over to ya.

Still using the stock chebby pulley?

Alright, I dont remember application for the pump. Might have been an astro van with hydro boost. Pumps are all pretty much the same in chevy truck world, just the can, and remote or attached reservoir. I did remote res so I can run a big one to deal with the big ram, and easier mounting.

As for mounting, all the bolt holes I used were up front, there are 4, I used 3. Brackets are all 1/4" no vibe at redline, so its mounted pretty securely. Lets see, one bolt off the top, you can see in the pics. 2 on the bottom. One of the bottom one is on the factory 2 hole bracket, thats the one closest to the motor. The other, is simple a flat piece from the other original hole in the factory toy bracket, extending to another bolt hole in the pump. Pulley is a 5 groove factory pulley, about 6" diameter. I think it ended up 46 or 47" long 4 groove belt. Just only goes in 4 of the 5.

I dont know if this explanation helped at all... But look at the pics, and read it, and it should eventually make sence... I just was not going to pay over 200 bones for a marginal pump at the stealer.

We're all having issues with yota pumps, and I've replaced junk yard yota pumps 5 times already and now I'm running a 60 w/ 37's........I read and understand the deal on the chevy pump, but can you make it work with the yota pulley........also, anyone have experience with waggy pump......and Brian do you have the specs on pressure for stock and for chevy? I'd be curious how much you gain for "a lil fab work" ;) Thanks all

Pressure, dont know, feels pretty much the same. I wanted more volume to run the 2" ram. Work with yota pully, I doubt it. The chevy is a press on, press off affair. Youll need a pulley puller, harbor freight actually has a decent one.

any idear if this can work on the 4 banger? i just got a pump from advance auto and in less than a month its already whining louder than the one i took off. i want something a lil stronger...

[Toyotakrawler]

I just replaced my pump 4 months ago and the pos is already howling like crazy. I would really like to try this chevy set up, especially if it works well with ram assist.
