Title: Power steering box no pump.
Post by: BIG DOG on March 02, 2010, 04:58:50 AM

Can I run a power steering box with no pump? How will it act what lube due I put in it ?I know I have to plug the line nipples .Any other info or input would be appreciated!
It's all I can find here close to me the pump is gone so I figure I'll maybe find that later.My truck now is a 16V 5spd 2dr 31"mud terrains manual steering.
Thanks!

Technically you can loop your power steering lines so it just goes back into the box.  That will allow you to run without a pump.  One problem you might run into is that most power steering pumps have a lot lower gearing then manual ones.  With the power assist it doesn't matter, but with manual you may have issues steering.
