[QUOTE="dirtygoat, post: 1447136, member: 17531"] [b]Pumps...[/b] The most common pump is a "P" style saginaw pump... This is what most of our rigs are running from the factory... Most of our trucks have the "can of ham" style that has the pump mounted in the tank... Some of the 1 tons have a round "p" style that has an external reservoir... Either of these can be used with success... Most of these pumps are rated at 2.4 to 3.5 (gpm) flow and 1100-1450 psi pressure... The aftermarket pumps run at the higher end of the flow and pressure of the stock pumps... Some have different pulleys and ports for performance and ease of hooking up... But, this thread is about doing it on the cheap... I went to the parts store and got a replacement stock pump for my '79 K5 with a lifetime warranty... It seems to work just fine... You can bump up the flow doing the "Redneck" upgrade... I haven't done this but I heard it helps... You can also add more fluid capacity by adding a radiator hose to the top of the pump and and the neck and cap to the top of the hose... It's been covered all over this site... Here's a typical Chevy small block "P" style pump... [IMG]http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq267/thedirtygoat/Hydro/steeringpump.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
