Just take the output line off of the pump and remove the adapter it screws into. Take a drill bit a couple of drill sizes bigger than the hole in the orifice and drill it out. Install a smaller pulley and you should have plenty of flow and pressure. Cost= $0.0 if you have some drill bits, and $65 for the pulley from PSC.

Thats a pretty good tip. Do you guys all run stock pumps for the most part? Anyone know of an electric pump available?

No, I never run a stock pump. A good performance pump is the same cost as a new stock pump from an auto parts store. I do run the smaller pulley, which is highly recommended for hydro assist or full hydro, but like John said should also work well with a stock pump.
I don't know of anyone with any 4x4 or rock buggy or desert truck that runs an electric PS pump. Running the pump off the serpentine belt works very well.

99-04 grand cherokee, V8.
bolts into 96+ XJs with the newer style belt routing. more pressure, larger resi, just gotta plug that 2nd return line real good so it doesnt leak.

WJ production years were 99-04...
So does this mean that something changed with the powersteering pump between '00 and '01 ??

Got a source for the performance pump?
Hate to jack a thread, but are you guys running stock steering boxes as well? I really dont like the variable ratio, anyone run a YJ box? I know its possible and everything, just want to know if ya like it!

I have a YJ box, don't have the 4th bolt in yet though. You get used to the fixed rate steering pretty quickly
a YJ box? is that a bolt in with out spaceing i now the durango is but u need to space out from the frame cuz its a bigger bore may be of thinking of doing that istead of the durango its a batter box then the xj's to lazy to order the backit for the durangos :speepin:

Probably better off with the Durango box. Better performance when running larger tires.

I'm not sure the two are compatible.
Need to look at sealing surfaces to verify that.
ok look in to it. and for the Durango box what do u think of this Inner Steering Box Brace from T&T customs. http://tntcustoms.com/innersteeringboxbrace.aspx I talk to the guy and was really cool and told him abought the Durango box and he can weld longer bolt spacers if need but he said it should but if not put a couple washers :worship: but :shhh: dont tell the wife
