Re: Power Steering Hose
what year truck?
on my 71 c-10 i swaped the 1 inch fitting in the back of the new pump from a pump of the same year as the my truck and used the stock hose, the fitting cost my 72 cents at the local junk yard and since i can use the stock hose i can get one at any store if it ever goes out

Re: Power Steering Hose
I had replaced my original pump with an Oreillys pump before the swap. The replacement pump had the correct fitting on the pump I just transferred the fitting and lines to the lsx pump. Fit like a glove. Maybe you can check to see if your pump had been replaced and has the fitting already. Keep us posted
Good luck.

Re: Power Steering Hose
Thanks Never had a pump apart. Pushing 300k on a project engine I got from a buddy. Does the high pressure fitting unscrew to remove tank? If so I suppose I could just swap fittings from my pump to new one.
Going to swap in a Chevolet performance 'connect and cruise' package. I an going to get the Vintage Air Gen IV system and their LS FrontRunner™ Drive System. This put compressor high and avoid frame mods. |

Re: Power Steering Hose
The fitting on the backside of pump will unscrew and screw right back inside the new pump. At least thats how I and Hawks did it. It's spring loaded so be carefull when taking it a part. I thought I had lost part of it and looked all over the floor for parts. Finally realized it didn't.

Re: Power Steering Hose
You'll need to do some research, but I don't think the VA frontrunner system comes with a truck style power steering pump, I believe they use an F body type pump, in which case you can't swap out that fitting.
