stock power steering pump 1987 ranger 2.3l

[svtcards]

I was wondering if the stock power steering pump will work on a 1987-95 mustang 5.0l serpentine setup?if not how can I make it work?any info would be great.

I think it does with the proper pulley and bracket but I didn't use that, I used the 5.0 exploder brakets and I had to use a 97 4.0 sohc exploder power steering pump.

cool.good to know.thank u

Has anyone used the auto transmission ports of the radiator for cooling for the power steering system?what are the pros and cons in doing this?

I tried that during once. The big this was that the top of the cooler tank was above my PS res, so it would just puke fluid everywhere.

 

[svtcards]

It would come out the top of the pump reservoir?is that what u mean?

 

[svtcards]

Looking at this pic would u say it would puke out?

Yes

That pump sits higher than mine does and may be OK though.

 

[svtcards]

Do u think it's a good idea to run it through the radiator besides maybe puking up?

 

[svtcards]

And yours pukes out of the pump cap area?do u have pic of your setup by any chance?u running the explorer brackets?

couple questions,

why would this line/oil need to be cooled? isn't the rad running hotter than a power steering pump? if so, this would actualy heat up the oil instead of cooling it?

and why not just run it into a separately added trans cooler in front using the return line into the pump. this way there is no worry about another line into the rad. why would you want to add more into the rad if not necessary?

A vehicle with much larger tires than stock that sees a lot of time rock crawling could potentially need to cool the ps fluid I suppose

I always kinda thought trying to cool power steering down was kinda of a waste on normal driving conditions.i since changed it back to where it was b4
