Power steering Pump

[Not Now]

I am going to run 35 in. tires on my 78, and was wondering if I should use a high output pump or just use the pump that was made for the truck. Is there a good known pump that I should look for.

Thanks Don

PS Ford Bronco Zone Tech support is great.

Search for the Cardone Saginaw ps pump swap, that's what I run in all my Ford rigs. the stock Ford ps pump is junk for running oversize tires, JSM84

(Hang on and I'll find the part #) 206244 I by mine from RockAuto.com the ps pump is made by A-1 Cardone. you may also find it at the local parts stores.

I did the V-belt Saginaw conversion on y 83, what a difference / . Generally, if you can find a E250 with the same engine and year range as your Bronco, it is a quick swap. You need the bracket, pump and pulley. I personally would do the pump rebuild kit which is also very easy to do with the exception of the shaft bushing. That bushing needs to be pressed out and in but you probably won't need to do it as long as there is no gauging from metal fragments.
