Power Steering Bypass
I'm going tomorrow to get a power steering bracket off of a 98 1500 van. According to my research, the part number is 53008859. It should lower the pump enough not to interfere with the battery tray. That way I can get a standard belt for the van equipped with PS delete.
I'm also going to disassemble the pump and remove the vanes. That way there should be no pressure on the supply side. I'll figure out how to mount the pump bearing and shaft later when I don't have anything else to do. Like that ever happens.
Thanks again, Dave
