Eaton Power Steering Pump- 83FC

[Gary Miller]

Steve,

What timing. I just wrote an article about this for the Wanderlodge
Owners Online site (wanderlodge(dot)us).

While I believe the pump is a little undersized for the Wanderlodge,
it performs well in a properly vented system. The 225-250 horse
FC's for some reason received a non-vented reservoir. This places
undue stress on the seals and hose fittings.

Any pump shop can rebuild it for you. I've sent out two and paid
about $170 each. It's nice to have a good thorough check out since
the pump does work hard, and it's the only one you've got. Shop
around in your area for prices.

I'd replace the hoses, belt, filter (NAPA), and install a vent with
the rebuild.
