Pretty good start to this weekend already! The other side taillight came in!
I also got started on the power steering pump change, or the real fun part
Pulley is off!
Old pump removed!
Here's our new pump, the pump and lines were ordered for a 2002 1500HD, as my DD uses the exact same parts. This pressure line is ran a little different than factory though. It will have to be fastened above the return line in order to clear the frame, rather than below it like the factory did. The lines also require a few easy tweaks.
New pump installed for test fit!
The pressure line will have to be bent so that the angle resembles the upper return line port.
It also needs to be slightly twisted into a more upright position parallel to the rear portion of the bend.
The lower return line needs to be slightly pushed down to sit horizontal.
And turned just a bit more inward to allow for line clearance at the frame.
This is how everything will fit and clear afterwards!
Lower return line hose routing.
Pulley clearance, at least 3/8".
Pressure lines now perfectly reach the hydroboost area! (I hope)
