Do they happen to make a power steering pump that's strong like a performance pump one that will make turning 42s like Turing 225s haha. I just want one that can handle turning large tires if the can one is what I need what vans should I look for motor size and year. I'm making a junk yard run in a few days I'll grab one while I'm there and what all do I need for the swap. Never heard of this swap

lol thats funny...

if you have a hard time turning tires (steering) you got more than pump issues...

the GM pump is one of the best pumps out there... thats why they used them on front heavy vans... they last a lifetime...

Nah. I don't have problems till I get in deep mud and there's a strain on it a little then it likes to stop and go if ya know what I mean. Other then that no I don't have problems but the GM one will work good?

They were also put in the big mid 70s LTDs too,it seems like the late 70s to late 80s pumps with the plastic tank were the worst for noise. I never had any problems with the late 60s on back Ford pumps.
