Hi... For my 1990 Cherokee, with 33 rock tires, I got a 1999 Dodge Dakota steering gear. This has the larger bore over the stock XJ steering gear. I have the stock XJ type steering pump, bought as a rebuilt from NAPA Autoparts.
I have a spate used pump I want to repair....
I understand a high volume and / or high pressure pump is desirable for the Dakota steering gear. How does one build a stock pump to work better with the Dakota steering gear?
Do pump ports get drilled to different sizes, spring changed or spacers on bypass valve? What gets done? Any instructions out there on blue printing our pumps, and setting them up for bigger gear boxes, pushing bigger tires?
Is a smaller diameter pulley a good idea to bump up the pump output? Where do I buy one? Or what car should I search for at the wrecker for a used smaller pulley from?
Thanks!
