- Hey, guys. In this video, I go over the PSC high-output power steering pump I installed on my truck as part of this front-end overhaul. As you'll see, it is significantly more powerful than the factory one, and it has eliminated all issues with losing power steering assist when the truck is stopped and the brakes are applied.

Did you also add a cooler for this pump?
@@codygunnerson8876 No, I didn't add one. The AmsOil fluid I'm using has no issues with heat-soaking. It's always smooth and quiet - no matter how long I've been using the truck!
Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Heck yeah looking forward to doing this to my truck
@@allenoakes9126 Awesome! Just be sure to use a high-quality power steering fluid. PSC sells their own fluid under the Swepco brand, and you can buy it on Summit racing fairly inexpensively.

I need this up grade! I can barley steer in low speed situations. How much was the pump?
This is awesome. I've gone thru a bunch of junk rebuilds and new china made pumps with all bad experiences. My truck has stalled before when trying to turn in a parking lot with the ac on at idle. That 1600 psi rating seems to be the ticket.
Good product review! I may upgrade my truck with this. I enjoy the videos! I have a long list of upgrades to do! Keep them coming Jay!
Thanks!
Thank you! I'm very pleased with how well this pump works. Please let me know if you have any questions about the installation. Also, please let me know if you're able to do this or any of the other upgrades I've done!
Thank you so much for all of your comments! I really appreciate them, as they really help me and my channel.
Thank you! I’m going to do this to my 8.1l
You're welcome! Please check out the rest of the videos in this series, as they should all work on your 8.1.

Did you have the right puller? Napa and autozone rent them. Good Pump American made, anytime you can support that is a good thing , put one on my LMM little tip if you replace your lines prime the pump with a little vacuum on the pick up side took me a while to find someone that suggested that , first though it was a bad pump , worked like a charm , starting it lock to lock 3 times didn't do , maybe the ratchet would have worked
your friend truck got any better with the upgraded pump? I have the same problem with the larger wheels
Late here, but you don't use a jaw puller for that style pulley. There is a ps pulley puller that grabs the lip at the center of the puller
Yes! I learned that afterwards... Haha! I didn't realize that the kit I rented also had the pulley puller in it. I'm still glad I put the new pulley on it, though.
Thank you for watching and for commenting!
There is a proper puller to remove that pulley. You also use the same puller to reinstall that pulley
Thank you! I know that now. The kit I rented had the puller, but I didn't realize what it was for. I like having the new pulley, though.
I just bought this pump for my lb7. What power steering fluid did you use?
I'm using AmsOil, but, to be absolutely safe, I'd order their Swepco fluid. You can buy it on Summit Racing.
Can this go on my 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500hd gas 6.0?
Hey, Cardan! I believe all of the front-end upgrades I've done will work on your truck. Please verify with PSC and the other manufactures before purchasing anything, though.
Please let me know if you have and additional questions! I'm very pleased with the finished results. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Sweet video jay, any noticeable difference in braking with this psc pump?
Thank you, Oscar! Well, I've also gone with the 2011 hydroboosts upgrade, so my brakes feel SIGNIFICANTLY better because of that. I think the improvement this pump makes on an otherwise unmodified truck is that the power steering doesn't lose assist when you're holding the vehicle still with the brakes.
Thank you for watching and for commenting! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
@@JayRussellDuramax thank you for the reply, I also did the 2011 hydro booster on my LLY, braking is way better but still notice I have to stab it a bit, might need a new steering pump
@@oscarlopez2599 Oh, ok. Cool! How is your steering? Is it heavy and/or difficult to turn the wheels?
@@JayRussellDuramax oh yeah! Especially when parking in parking lots , tightens up
@@oscarlopez2599 Well, I think this pump might really help you out! Do you have oversized wheels and tires?
How much was the pulley
The pulley is $95. You can buy it on AutoZone by searching: Dorman Power Steering Pump Pulley 300-229
However, the OEMTOOLS Pulley Puller/Installer (Part #: 57031) should be able to remove your OEM pulley and install it on the new pump. I didn't realize how it worked when I did mine. I wouldn't've had to buy the new pulley otherwise... Haha!
I just saw the price of the pump😮.
Yeah, it's not cheap, unfortunately. However, it's definitely worth the price. Even a brand new OEM pump will struggle a little bit. Did you click the link in the description of the video? It's listed at $275 there.
I just replaced pump and the line going to hydro boost. Had a hard time. But got it in. It makes a world of difference
@@abigailgallardo6820 Thank you for telling me! I'm so glad you were able to get this done and that it's so much better. Please let me know if you have more questions!
