Very different from the old trucks did not know i had to pull the pulley off to get the pump unbolted thanks for saving me a trip back to the parts store.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Glad the video helped!

Thanks for such a close up view of the job…

[@dillwizard7516]

Thank you for the video. I am not a mechanic, but I can wrench if I know what to do. Videos like yours help me immensely. Once again, thank you

Love the instruct now wrenching with a smile after seeing a leak knee got weak

1996 GMC with 4.3l V6, power steering pump in same location, but the alternator and A/C compressor are swapped opposite sides so it tweaks the job a little

@@TheWiscoGuyz Hey I have a 1989 the power steering just went out but I cannot find a pump anywhere that comes with a reservoir already on where did you get yours from ??? I really want to make sure I get the right one I've already looked at all the auto parts stores

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I got mine from NAPA auto parts store. I believe it was PART # PS 381073... Which is for the 5.7 liter (350ci) v8. It does Come with the reservoir as well. No pulley though

[@rauloropeza3559]

This is non hydroboost right?

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Correct

[@thekeithjohnson]

I could really smell this video. Hot power steering fluid and cut off wheel.

Much different layout in 87's thanks for identifying pressure side

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Going from square body to Obs I would imagine it being a bit different. Thanks for watching

[@Dixonyass-g8v]

TheWiscoGuyz I got a problem my pulley gots play but pump still works also I noticed the bracket that holds the pump is missing 2 bolts in the bottom or the they broke off and the thread is in there still I think so my truck serpentine belt keeps wanting to slip off even after I replaced the belt tensioner and pulley and put a new belt so what I’m trying to say is all I need is a new pump pulley and those 2 bolts and my serpentine belt problem will be solved?

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

@@Dixonyass-g8v I would say at that point i would replace everything power steering related, if its got play in the pulley its probably on it way out. If the bolts are missing thats the best case Ontario. If they are broken they would have to be extracted. That my take some time. Replace the power steering pump, pulley, pressure line and return line, get new bolt to mount it, and last a new belt. I had a jeep with a 5.2 v8 that had a power steering pulley loose and the pulley shot out of the engine bay on to the road then into a farmers field. I was one my way to fix it. About a 1/4 mile from the shop.

[@sirjohnahayfalcon]

Seems likely mark squirt jizz on whats left get the broken bolts out replace with new.... I did this job a month ago and the power steering belt has more slack in it than the other belts wich have very little slack

[@Homelyfe4u]

[@Smalltechguy]

I'm debating about swapping mine out again. This pump isn't that old, but I hate noises coming from my engine. Yours had been going bad for sometime till it was totally empty, so mine has just a small play when the pulley is attached. I wish you would have shown just a little bit more after the install by grabbing the pulley and showing the difference. Good instruction though.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Thanks for watching!

[@theazsecondamendmentaudit7239]

People unhook the battery before you do anything trust me

[@darkshadowsx5949]

its a good idea to unhook the battery before starting the truck. but seriously the pump isn't electrical and 12v DC isn't going to shock you unless your licking the battery posts. there's no point in detaching the battery.

[@thegravelgarage1062]

Potential bad ground. He became the ground

[@ZackNReggieB]

Yeah its just a good precaution. I agree

[@SuperHartwigs]

Good work! Getting ready to do mine on my 88 K1500. Thanks!

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

[@Smalltechguy]

So did you finish your 88 model yet and what was the issue with yours???

[@SuperHartwigs]

@@Smalltechguy Yes. Mine started making noise and my gearbox was sloppy so I replaced both at the same time. It's easy enough.

[@macman828]

@@SuperHartwigs @TheWiscoGuyz having a hard time removing the pump out, removed all bolts, and that bracket to the alternator, but I can't wiggle it/ pivot out of the spot in my 88 4.3L C1500. @8:23 - @8:30 step.

[@goatbaaad3711]

Just did a GMC Bus at work and was curious how other people went about it. Make life much easier, unbolt the tensioner, (1 bolt) then get the other two bolts on the Mount and pull the pump off with the Mount. Then you can pull the pulley off and install it on a bench outside the vehicle.

[@flacoblb]

THINK I WILL GET NEW PRESSURE LINE BEFORE I TACKLE MINE. THANKS!

[@lemoncake9597]

Bone dry you say? Maybe that’s why it was making noise

[@sulcdy5636]

I have a question, I know the video is pretty old but how do u know if it’s the power steering pump pulley and not what it’s behind of?.like the part the pulley goes on too.

[@antonlords6]

Buddy, you made that much harder than it is.

[@user-uj3zk2cx8t]

Why is that?

[@highfrequicyvibes9342]

My sensor is bad on a 1997 chevy 1500 can't find pressure sensor anywhere is it safe to bypass this sensor on the power steering pump.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I don't think my 1988 model had a pressure sensor for the power steering.

[@user-xd2te4go6j]

Very good teaching, BUT, you forgot to disconnect the BATTERY, BEFOE STARTING

Because I have a 1993 Chevy C 1500 and I got long tube Headers on it so I had to take off the bracket that was on there but now when I turned the AC on the power steering pump rattles without having the rear bracket on it… but The kind of style bracket you have on yours may work for me so I was just wondering what year and type of truck that bracket comes off of?

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

This was a 1988

[@jameskozlowski4139]

[@user-jn9km6qd7g]

Would you happen to know what power steering fluid you use in a 1997 C1500 5.7L? I'm having a hard time finding out what to use. I can't find any specifications in the manual.

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I looked at alldata (info on any make and model) for info on it. It just said GM power steering fluid. But Napa has this that is specific to 97 c1500 www.napaonline.com/en/p/PSR9832?partTypeName=Power+Steering+Fluid&impressionRank=1&keywordInput=power+steering+fluid

[@ervn2466]

On the new pump are there threads to put the pulley installer into? Gonna be doing the pump on my 98 this week and I’m just curious

[@ismaelrivera38]

Great video man. But I have a question would a bad power steering pump cause the engine to stall while tight turns? That's what my 94 is doing

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

I had that happen on full lock turns even with the new steering pump. It might just be the pump kicking back the pressure and stalling the engine out.

[@LuisPerez-ud3me]

What was it my 94 is doing that as well

[@ismaelrivera38]

I ended up getting a new distributor and timed it right. Problem fixed

[@jeffcoyne0591]

Whats the process though on fluid afterwards and bleeding it etc?

[@TheWiscoGuyz]

Once you have your fluid put in. Jack up the front of the truck so the front wheels are off the ground and with the engine off but key on... Turn your steering wheel left all the way to lock and right all the way to lock, turn the wheel lock to lock around 10 ten time. Then set the truck down and check fuild. Then start the truck and see if it whines... If it does... repeat the process till the power steering is quiet. If it quiet your good to go. Just make sure you keep checking the level of the fluid.

[@Arizona_rider]

@@TheWiscoGuyz One way is to fill it up. Leave cap off and start up, turn lock to lock turn off and fill up. Put cap on and drive. The system will get all the air out once you going down the road. I’ve done it that way after doing the pitman arm
