I tried to modify my power steering pump to make my truck turn as easy as the '97 and up trucks. I shimmed the spring in the pump wich kinda worked but I had also drilled out the oriface that the pressure line connects to. That didn't work very good. Also my shimmes had sliped sideways preventing the spring from going all the way to the bottom. I finally figured out that shimming the spring without drilling the fitting will work but I was running out of fluid and didn't get to finish it. Has any one else tried to modify this pump? They changed the steering in '88 till '97 when speed senitive steering came out. I don't care about the speed aspect of it I just want to be able to back my trailer a little easier.
