Power steering solutions...
Ok guys...So heres the deal.
Few of you who I personally know or have wheeled with know that my truck came stock with no power steering...In 1991 why...? I couldnt tell you..It's as bare bones as you can get, no ac, no tilt wheel...nothin...
Anyway...
After my recent incident over the past weekend of breaking my pinkie due to no power steering..Im trying to figure out what parts i need to install a PS system on my truck..
Its a 91 22re..(in sig)
Im looking at this kit from trail gear..http://www.trail-gear.com/hydro-pump.html
So if I pick up one of these also...http://www.trail-gear.com/ifs-boxes.html
Would it basically be a bolt on plumb and bleed job...Or am i missing something that is necessary..?
Thanks guys...

I think I may have a PS pump if you're interested...
you'll still need the hoses, reservoir and steering box and cooler though....

And check to see if you have that idler arm pulley. Mine didn't when I swapped mine over to powersteering (btw I'm totally and completely unsatisfied with TG's "high-flow" TC style pump. Maybe I just got a fubar'd one brand-new for $400, but that's besides the point...). Those pulley's run ~$200, but you can just run a special routing that I came up with after beerstorming for a while. Just cut the ac belt, and run it from crank to ac to ps.

Im really confused...
Does the fact I dont have AC change anything ?

NOTE: power steering is not going to solve the root cause of the problem. Keep your fingers and thumbs outside the wheel when offroad as the steering wheel sometimes jerks suddenly!

there are a few self-serve yards around, between 35-50 miles north of me.
hit the yellow pages- ecology wrecking in bloomington, pick-a-part in ontario, and one other I can't remember at the moment.
