Power steering pump II.
From : clt
Q: what do you think about acdelco power stearing pumps i find one here that comes from atlanta and cost me us$150. i havent see the pump jet but by the phone the person says that they are the same. the original steering system was made by saginaw and used on many gm vehicles. an ac delco replacement part should present no problems at all. .

i stopped by the dealership and bought all of the fluids and parts i would need to service the truck myself. i asked the service manager for torque specs on the tranny pan bolts and the diff bolts. he said aw hell just snugem up. that kind of thinking is the reason i am doing this myself in the first place. a couple of questions what do i torque the diff bolts to what do i torque the tranny bolts to note i bought a new gasket and i dont to just snugem up. i want to do it right. the parts guy said i needed friction modifier in the rear diff but not the front diff. but he personally recommended using it in the front diff. so i bought two bottles. is it going to harm anything to use friction modifier in the front diff heres what i got feel free to point out errors 6 qts mopar 75-140 synthetic gear lube 9 qts mopar atf+4 tranny fluid for tranny and transfer case tranny gasket 2 bottles of friction modifier tranny filter rtf for diffs grand total $235.00. gd! that gear lube is pricey ... $20 per qt. craig c. .
