I am not putting power steering on the truck just yet. They make a by pass pulley for the A/C compressor but not the power steering pump. If I remove the pressure valve from the back of the pump and block off the outlet and return line will that work without blowing fluid everywhere? Or do I have to remove the pump vanes? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | I've made a loop from the pressure fitting to the return nipple on the resevoir can to keep from running a pump with no fluid and it worked but don't know if this would be okay for driving.

Ditto. I used a serpentine setup off a Camaro minus the smog pump. Found a shorter belt at Autozone & it works fine.

I wanted to run it with the pump on and thought maybe someone else may have done that. I'll remove the pressure valve and see what happens then do a follow up post with the results. Thanks for the input! SEE YA! Mark | | |
