How so

@mittenmotorsports it messes up the coupler and then u have to waste time getting it unstuck and the hose will start shooting out air or leaking

There is not but they have held up great. Zero issues.

😂 sure can

You are correct. My mistake.

Glass half full, I love it 😂

driving this thing the way it is I probably look hammered 😂😂

Made by Chrysler

It’s the steering gearbox brother. I just left the “steering” part out, chief.

I mean the 90's came and went when I was a kid...I'm 42 now 😅 fr the box is the one that AMC specced out on it...the grand Cherokee was designed by AMC to replace the XJ Cherokee but everyone liked the XJ so they just built a new model to replace the Grand Waggy that ended production in 1991. In summary my 90 Grand waggy and wrangler both had no steering slop, just a very quick ratio not conducive to good manners at speed, but great offroad.

😂😂😂 I think a candle has more lumens than one of these headlights

I definitely need to adjust it. I am going to check the u joints on steering shaft too.

You talking about the Allen head with the lock nut? Thought about adjusting that but didn’t want to turn my gearbox into a box full of marbles 😂

Gearbox

@@mittenmotorsports gear box is for transmission…

Google "steering gear box". ​@@chriscantu380

You’re right, people call the trans a gearbox too. But there is a steering gearbox on certain vehicles that uses a pitman arm to steer.

Are you talking about the Allen head with the lock nut?

Dont touch that lol. ​@@mittenmotorsports

That would be cool!!

So far so good brother

@@mittenmotorsports nice. Are you near Midwest Illinois?

@@nathanmccumber8965 We are on the east side of Michigan

We would love to try!!

Thing runs good!!

@mittenmotorsports man zj was my deal back then and that was my unicorn

Back then I'm the 2000's

😂😂

NICE!!

That would be a good idea. Maybe throttle the sand a little bit.

Burban aint going 1/4 of the way up that hill!!

What do ya mean they don’t swap?

@@mittenmotorsports it's been so long I don't remember exactly. The reservoir shapes were different, and I believe the hole sizes in the pumps were dramatically different

@@doomsdaydiesel I think you might be confused? I did it in this video. I just swapped reservoirs and fittings. All is well with it.

@@mittenmotorsports it definitely doesn't work with all brands. You got lucky.

You're welcome!

Yeah bulk would be better as long as it clean

I am not sure

No I did not. That was the new return line that I bought and then I bought another 1/2" piece of hose from advanced auto and used brass connector to connect the two different hoses.

They have held up fantastic, we wheel the piss out of both jeeps and they take a beating. The heims have definitely gotten a little loose over the last year or so but they are in mud, water, snow, sand etc.

😂 I just used orielley PSF. Didn’t know that before hand. Where did you learn that ATF was better for the pump?

I've been involved in the automotive industry in one form or another since the mid 90's. A Tech for a long while, and in parts, and service. I believe Ford was the first to get away from the old Saginaw (I think?) type P/S pumps in the mid 70's when they started using there own proprietary P/S pumps. Ever wonder why you always hear the old Fox body Mustangs driving around with a wicked P/S squeal? Those pumps were designed to use Type F Ford P/S fluid. It had grit in it to help the vanes in the pump stay honed and true to the pump bore. When using regular P/S fluid in those pumps, the vanes will not stay honed to the bore and start to squeal like a stuck pig. Not too long after, Mopar changed to their own pumps as well. The first were to use ATF +1. So as the decades past by, changed to ATF +4. Chevy held on to the old style pumps, because no one else was using them. These companies no longer want parts compatibility between vehicles. They want proprietary part only to help their own after the vehicle sale parts business. Look in the service manual, and the owners manual. It will specifically say to use an ATF of some sort. I think that this is way a lot of folks have trouble with their P/S pumps. The old style P/S fluids are too thick, and do not have the proper additives for the pump bores and seals. Newer style pumps used to have a steel sleeved bore, most of which now no longer do. It usually is just the vanes against an aluminum bore, which scratches and wears out very quickly when not treated right. Where you put the adapter hose (1/2" piece), you could have used a P/S filter. You can get the filters with a 3/8" inlet, with a 1/2" outlet.

Wow you have some history in the industry. I have been considering adding a cooler to this setup so now I think I want to drain the system and add a cooler and filter with ATF+4. Does the ATF+4 help with aeration at all? Thank you for the lesson by the way.

@@mittenmotorsports Yes, absolutely. ATF's additive package includes anti-foaming agents which will greatly reduce the problem of aeration in the fluid, and premature failure of the pump and gear box. All these fluids, by the way, are just different versions of hydraulic fluid. However, not all hydro fluids are the same. It depends on the application. Most all P/S systems now are high pressure, and high temperature, where ATF's work very well in. The older P/S systems were lower pressure, and temp, where the old type P/S fluid was adequate.

To my knowledge, all WJ power steering pumps should be serviced using MS5931 fluid and not ATF+4. Oreilly brand PS fluid is compatible with MS5931, that is stated on the back of the bottle. I'm am not sure what the XJ gear box calls for... but the WJ pump is definitely MS5931. This is stated in Technical Service Bulletin 19-005-03 which can be found with a quick Google search.

I feel like the insulation wrap and zip ties are unnecessary lmao just put the shield back on and you’re good to go.

@mittenmotorsports you do you. I didn't spend thousands of dollars just to hide all my upgrades. Once the cat is removed from the system, there's no real need for the factory heat shields.

Yeah I’ve read about some guys having to try a few pumps before finding a good one. Glad your works great and doesn’t leak now!!

@@mittenmotorsports I've had it for a few years now. Happy I did the mod. I also did the 140amp alternator mod too. Though I dont have any extra lights on mine...yet lol

Nice! I will have to look into that mod. i Didn't think these had any charging issues. @@TexasRedneck

@@mittenmotorsports just more amps for more accessories

This is a 1998. It’s possible the 88 fitting is different from the 98 fitting.

@@mittenmotorsports Went into NAPA today and looked at ones from 96 to 2000 and they were all the same. The only thing I can think of doing is getting a hydraulic hose shop custom built a pressure hose.

That’s a good idea

That’s the shitbox life baby!! 😂

I didn’t have an issue when I filmed this but if you get a little water in the pickup tube it does clog up. You just have to make sure the sand is dry and the pickup tube is dry. Otherwise it works good.

We did it ourselves homie. Got the fabric from Joann fabric and glued it on. I’ll have a full video on how I did it soon.

Maybe 😂

Yes. One could argue an air compressor setup is far superior and i would agree but for the price point and having a power washer laying around it is great for small projects.

LOL no kidding
