..and im going wheeling this weekend, im about to head to the junkyard, what swaps are there out there? ive heard grand cherokee pumps are stronger and a direct swap? any truth here? or should i just get a stock replacement and call it good?

1990 4L-i6 with durango steering box turning 36s..
 
I went with a pump from a 2001 Grand Cherokee and run the Dakota box. It is a bit twitchy going on the highway. Even adding the hydro assist didn't calm it all the way down.
 
How do you know it's bad? A lot of times they just scream if the fluid is low and the fluid becomes foamy. Filling it up and running the steering from lock to lock 3 times usually gets the air out.
