whiny ford pump getting thrown in the bush

[gnardoom]

I have a 92 ranger with a 4.0L. I need a saginaw pump with a serpentine pulley and the same fittings as my truck, I dont care if I have to notch the bracket. Which gm vehicles have pumps set up like this? I was thinking maybe an astro van

I think you'll need to use a gen 1 pressure hose with it.

1st gen ranger?

Is this link supposed to go to a specific part? Or just the Parts America home page? If it's supposed to go to a specific part, the link did not work. But I would like to see the part.

Do most Ford PS pumps whine? Mine does and I hate it. My 3.0L is the quietest engine I've ever owned but the whining PS pump annoys me.

Put your zip code in and it will pull up the part page. Anyway..

It's a GM Saginaw pump that's made to replace ford plastic res pumps.
It's spec't for a 1978 application, so you'll probably need a type 2 fitting pressure hose (78-89). The type 3 fitting hose (1990-up) will screw in but won't seal.

Very cool....I like it. I'm going to look into getting one of them. The Saginaw in my E350 is quiet. I'm guessing the pressure and flow from the Saginaw is close (enough) to the Ford pump that it will work correctly? Thanks again.

Totalled,

Check this out.....the picture you posted has the pump for $93.99. When I entered my zip, the pump came back as $65.48. That's weird. What's a different zipcode have to do with it?

does the factory serpentine pulley press onto the t-bird pump?

 

[gnardoom]

I want one from a wrecker, I dont know if its easier to use an econoline pump or a gm pump, I dont know which gm vehicles will have the right pulley

 

[Dave]

The PS pump in the picture that Totalled posted is way different than a GM Saginaw or one from an Econoline. The Saginaw in my Econoline is just like what GM used. The Saginaw in the picture is specially made to bolt to Ford PS brackets. A GM/Econoline PS pump will not be a direct bolt it. You will be way ahead of the game if you start with the Saginaw Totalled posted about.

can a parts store order one or do you have to buy it from that site

That site IS a parts store.

 

[Dave]

Get the Cardone part number and bring it to your favorite parts store....Many parts stores can cross a p/n over to their p/n.

Or....

Go to the Cardone webpage that has the PS pump, click on the link that says "See all vehicles this product fits". Pick any vehicle from the list and tell the parts guys you need a PS pump for it. He will most likely give you a Ford pump. Make sure you tell him you need the optional Saginaw pump that was used....not the more commonly used Ford pump. For example: my '78 F150 is on the list and it has a Ford pump. BUT apparently the Saginaw was optional so make sure to get the Saginaw.

Good luck.
