Upgraded Power Steering Pump Installed

Looks good.

What's that billet looking idler pulley?

Also, what hydroboost unit are you using?

Pulley is part of my electric vacuum pump conversion, look for my other thread for more info on it.


Booster is MC# BRB-37

Would you know the thread size to convert the fittings on the P/S pump and booster to JIC/AN? Or the part numbers for the fittings.

Thanks

I know the pump fitting is M16x1.5 as I made my own. Not sure on the booster, I kept the stock lines on mine. Pretty sure Lee Power Steering can hook you up with the correct fittings if you give them a call.

Rock Auto sells them also under AC Delco part# 36P1613.

I'm bringing this back up right here. On rock auto, under 2000 E350 Vans, they have several pumps that include pulleys.

Anybody know if they are correct pulleys? Some of these pumps are only $40...

If they are correct, I'm gonna snatch one up and put it away for future use...

Nobody?

Buy it and let us know. You can always return it.

How do I know if it's correct? Is it the offset of the pulley being incorrect? Or the shaft diameter? If it comes with the pulley I'm assuming it's the correct shaft diameter, because the pulley is already on it.

What is the correct offset?

Did you ever order one of those pumps from rockauto to try out?

I did not, havent had the time or money for the other parts. Too many other projects lol

I have a full setup for sale if anyone is interested? Bracket, pump with pulley, vacuum pump and reservoir.

Does anyone have a pulley for sale?

Does anyone have a pulley for sale?

Does anyone know if a 1997 E350 7.3 pump and pulley would work for a conversion?

 

[gnxtc2]

Post a pic of the pump and pulley.

Seller took a while to ship the bracket but I finally have it. Pictures won’t upload but the part number is F7TE-19E708-BA.

Also, I got the ps reservoir from a E-350 but not the cooler that it comes with. Is the cooler needed or can I just cap the inlet on the ps reservoir? Thanks!

Haven't posted here in awhile. Just finished my power steering/hydroboost swap.

I originally was running the F-SuperDuty hydroboost unit along with the matching master. Although the truck stopped fine but the brake pedal feel was not correct. So I found a Ford F-53 Hydroboost unit and purchased the OBS F250/F350 master. The master is obsolete so I settled with a Raybestos unit.

Since this going to require some custom hoses, I decided to swap the fittings to -6AN.
Hydroboost unit:
Aeroquip FBM2608 - 16mmx1.5 - 6AN
Aeroquip FBM2609 - 18mmx1.5 - 6AN
TechnaFit FTS 185009 5/16-24 o'ring

Pump:
TechnaFit FTS 306-06-M16DW 16mmx1.5 with Dowty Washer

Gear (4 bolt cover)
Russell 648010 1/2-20 -6AN o'ring seal

I bend up some 3/8 stainless tubing and single flared the ends with tube nuts. I covered the power steering lines with silicone fire sleeve. I rotated the pump fluid inlet to a better position. The non-pressure hose is Parker Pusk-Lok hose with Fragola hose ends. The feed line is 3/4 (-12) and the return is 3/8 (-6). The return lines are "T'd" together (OEM tube cooler, hydroboost unit and reservoir)

I forgot to grab a pic of how I mounted the Ford reservoir. The OEM reservoir has a build in screen for filtering.

Also, I replaced the stock steering shaft with the Borgensen shaft. I'm eventually probably going to swap in a Blue Top gear. Since my truck has the 4 bolt cover, I want to find a core and send that one in so I don't have any down time.

Didn't drive the truck yet, ran out of time.

What do you mean by brake pedal doesn't feel right?

Mine is really stiff. Seems like steering is harder than it should be. I understand where a better pump might help, but I also understand why it might not or not last very long.
My truck will certainly stop but but you are pushing hard. I was disappointed after the swap (and yes I moved the pin on the brake pedal)
I do have a new steering box installed but not because of this fiasco.

What rear brake setup do you have?

I think my next step is possible hydroboost porting unless you tell me this is the way to go.

 

[gnxtc2]

Which master did you use? The OBS one or the F-Superduty?

And yes my pedal was stiff also.
