I was told no after reading that thread. I asked Tom Sessions and that pretty much convinced me it was not the same part.
How many have you gone through? I'm on #2.

May be junk but if it fits you save 75%

I have a new OE pump (old stock) for $200. Tank included.

Chuck, I'll give you $60 for your old pump. I'd like to have one to rebuild.

David, if you have some rebuild instructions, can you share them? Thanks.

Fair price Dave, but I'm thinking like Tom. If these are rebuildable where can I get instructions?

Tom, I used to have the instructions ...somewhere...
Basically...
1) Open pump
2) Replace all the O-rings
3) Close pump
Anyway, I'd like a failed pump to take apart and rebuild, then I can post instructions.

Yes its off a Jeep, not sure what year though. I got a lifetime warranty on a rebuilt one from West Coast Viper. I think it was about $120. Drop Jason or John an e-mail.

In my autocross experience, I used to get to the end of a slalom and it would feel like the steering ran out of fluid. It didn't, it didn't slosh away from the pickup, I'm convinced that the fitting used to connect the tank and the pump (which also contains some pressure relief mechanism?) is a literal bottleneck and the system can't keep up with the fluid demand.
I have an extra pump from eBay (sorry Chuck) that I want to re-do and try a different flow control valve. From exterior dimensions, many Saginaw T/C pumps seem the same - I think the differences are in what engine RPM they are designed to work with. A truck PS pump and a Neon pump may be the same, but with one or two things adjusted to allow for 4000 or 7000 RPM max speeds. Since I have an underdrive pulley, my situation might be unique, but that's what playing with the extra pump would be for. Anybody - this makes sense?
