Comparing Borgeson's power steering box to the mopar OEM box

Jim Many Thanks for the write up! What was the reason you went with their full kit? vs just replacing the steering mechanism? I'm asking because while I am cheap I do appreciate the benefits of new - just didn't know if they had given any additional reasons...

yes, i went through the same debate. i have several mopar power steering pumps. i talked to the guy at Borgeson and asked him if the hoses they sell for connecting the pump to the box will fit a mopar pump. he said he didn't know for sure because their kits use the same pumps as GM uses - which means that their power steering box uses the same hose that fits on a GM pump. if you wanted to save some money, you could buy just the hoses off of them and then see if they will attach and seal correctly to a mopar pump. then if they did, you would only need to buy the Borgeson box and use your original mopar OEM pump. i also wondered if there might be some kind of pressure amount that the Borgeson box needs to work right that the mopar pumps might not provide. finally, i'm trying to get this car back together and i finally just decided paying the extra money for the entire kit from Borgeson would be easier.
