Eaton Power Steering Pump- 83FC

[George Lowry]

Andy,

As I mentioned to Steve in an earlier post, contact Bill at Bab Steering
<http://www.babsteering.com> He tells me that there are a number of people killed
each year because of mismatched power steering components. He helped me to
match the correct components in my coach - made a difference like night &
day.

Thanks for posting this Steve, I'm about to do the same thing to my 83'.

It seems that the power steering pump is the weakest part of the 3208
powerplant.

I just bought an 83 and drove it home from Ohio leaking power steering
fluid all the way.

The ps pumps appear to be underdesigned for our coaches.

I'm also worried that the placement of the reservior over the engine
makes the fluid too hot - thus making the pump fail sooner.

Has anybody upgraded their PS pump with a more heavy duty unit? Or
have any modifications that actually worked well?

Any help is appreciated for both Steve and myself!
