Does anyone offer a better than stock oil pump?

aftermarket high volume pump might need a bigger pan to hold enough oil for it to work properly... just something to consider.

Why so you can burn up the drive gear and bend the oil pump
driveshaft more easily?
There is no problem with a 4.0 engine that a larger oil pump would fix.

I know what I want. I just wanted to know if someone made a high volume oil pump. I looked for one and had no luck.

Sure you do Craig
But do you have even a small a clue about WHY you want a different oil pump? Pumping more oil or even higher oil pressure will cause a HP loss. It takes more horses to pump more oil. Then we get into the engineering of the drives that turn the pump.. They are engineered to pump a certain amount at a certain pressure. Which seems to work fine for most if not all 4.0's.

For what I have planned i want to have higher oil pressure.

Well if you simply MUST have more pressure you could always take the drift pin out of the bypass, pull the spring and get another spring of the same size that would allow the build up of pressure to your desired amount..

or just shim (add a few washers behind the existing spring) to increase the spring pressure - saves having to look for a stronger spring.

Just remember that the washer will go on the drift pin end of the spring.
