5 3 Truck Power Steering Pump Installed in A Gbody

This is a quick video of how I fit my 5.3 LS V8 swap truck power steering pump to my Monte Carlo.

What size belt are you running?

[@lifeofbowtiejitt4424]

Definitely had a lil trouble getting that lip back

[@jeffchan9176]

We are all trying to slow the accessories down and you speed yours up :)

[@bhwjrproductions]

Yeah I guess I did. In my attempt to do my LS swap myself and trying to use as much of the donor engine parts as possible that’s how it worked out. I’ve been driving my car for almost 2 years now without any PS pump problems. I did 1 burnout contest last year but basically just drive to work and a few local car shows, just another daily street car.

So the stock monte carlo pressure hose screwed into the truck pump?

[@bhwjrproductions]

Yes it did

[@lsrod4656]

What size belt did you use

[@bhwjrproductions]

I used a Dayco belt 5060910 6PK2310. I cut and taped the original belt to the length I thought I needed and had the guy at the auto parts store match belt lengths until 1 fit, this was it.

What adapter did you use to get your pulley pushed back that far. Im gonna try to get mine back a quarter inch to line up. Thanks in advance

[@lifeofbowtiejitt4424]

Appreciate the belt size cause I was lost at the part store

[@kevinjonesjr9244]

Where did you get the button head bolts?

[@bhwjrproductions]

I found them at Ace Hardware

[@Sheeshlocks]

How’s the pulley holding up?

[@bhwjrproductions]

I don’t have much time on it yet but so far so good.

[@Sheeshlocks]

@@bhwjrproductions Thanks you for the help and reply.

[@bhwjrproductions]

@@Sheeshlocks I’ve got a few thousand miles on it so far and haven’t had any problems at all. The whole LS swap thing has been super reliable.

I don’t recommend I had mine on for 2 years last month the pulley broke off and the inner part of the pulley stayed on

[@gbody_eastbay7419]

Mine broke off after acouple years probably because of the cheap material

[@bhwjrproductions]

@@gbody_eastbay7419 Mine is still working perfectly. I still want a metal pulley but I haven’t got around to it yet…it’ll probably stay there until I breaks then I’ll fix it
