Will a truck PS pump bolt on a car (LX) engine?
 
Tin, the truck pump should have the same bolt pattern, so it should work if the resevoir (sp) doesnt hit. Also the truck is a 7 rib pulley, car pumps (all pulley's) are 6 rib.

x2-
It looks similar, but has a 7 rib pulley. I didn't check to see if the reservoir fit.
 
That's why I want the truck pump, because the reservoir is attached and not remote.
 
The srt8 jeep has an attached reservoir. That's the one I bought.

I think I might have a truck one laying around somewhere- I'll see if I can find it and take pictures of all 3 (lx, srt8 jeep, and truck). There is a 4th- a 5.7 jeep. I never figured out if it had an attached reservoir, though I was thinking it did, and it was black (maybe).
 
Anyone know the output pressure on a Mopar PS Pump? I heard it is 1700psi and would blow the seals out of an aftermarket rack.
 
I decided to go ahead with the PS upgrade to my dart. I purchased a AGR power rack from Bill at RMS, and I just received a Jeep SRT8 pump.

The idler or power steering delete kit came from S & P, but I think Bouchillon sells them also.
 
If I remember right, Bouchillon was also selling a fitting to reduce the pressure on the pump so as to not blow the rack seals.

FYI, my 6.1 out of a Charger had the reservoir mounted on the pump.

Now you tell me....
 
Tin.....did you have to use a different belt with the PS delete pulley? I had to space my AC compressor out to get better clearance on the headers, and the stock belt is tighter'n a Nun's......well, you know! :D I still have the factory PS pump on my motor, but have to get a delete pulley because I'm not running PS. I noticed the pulley on the delete kit in your pic is smaller than a stock PS pump pulley, so maybe my 6K mile belt will live to die another day...lol.

Yes JD, the pulley is smaller than the stock PS pulley, but it is 2" smaller, you would definitely need to get a smaller belt.
 
I just sent the pump out to AGR Performance, they are going to go through the internals, and turn down the pressure. I have no desire to blow the seals out of the rack.....
 
hey folks i have a friend who is putting a truck 5.7 in his 33 dodge sedan and was looking at my car 5.7 power steering pump and asked if he could use the same pump on his truck engine (mine has the reservoir attached) but he wants to remote the reservoir i spoke with JR at Bouchillon and he thinks it is possible but didnt know what fittings would be needed for the reservoir has anyone ever done this before
 
If the bolt pattern matches, and it fits, just try swapping the pulley and it should work......
 
i understand but what i needed to know is if anyone has ever used a car reservoir on a truck pump and mounted it remotely that is what he wants to do since he already has the truck pump but dosent have enought room under the hood for the large reservoir but thanks for your help

He could get a pump from any lx 5.7 they all come wuth a remote res..

If your buddy hasn't bought a car pump yet, I would sell mine. If he has a truck motor, he would have to swap pulleys anyway, and that is good since my pully had the front edge chipped. I don't have a reservoir with it, but the pump is on an 06 motor with 6K miles on it. PM me if interested.
 
I have some info to share on the power steering front. The Jeep SRT8 pump puts out 1600psi ( I had mine tested) the power rack cannot handle more than 1100psi. So, that being said, there are only two options, find another pump, or install a pressure reducing valve like the one below. ( $90 for the valve + Fittings ). The place I sent mine to, (AGR) to have the pressure turned down, said there is nothing they can do with it, it is a different type of pump. I'm feeling the Mopar love again........

You might want to speak with Bill. I know he's done some work and has stated he used a 5.7L hemi PS pump with his the rack he sells.

I'm planning to use a hydroboost setup and was going to feed the hydroboost first then plumb the high pressure output to the rack.

I'm very interested in what your doing as I'm using the same parts. Let me know how it goes and keep the pictures coming.

I'm using this variable assist on my build. I figure to turn the assist down initially and as I age, I'll turn it up. It's a ***** getting older. LOL

According to some reading on different sites Bouchillion sells a fitting with a pressure reducer for rack and pinion.

The part number is: BPE61F608 but no picture is shown. If you buy one take a few pics, I'd like to see what it is.
