If the 2006 pump was on a 2 wheel drive 1/2 ton truck with a rack and pinion steering gear, yes. The rack requires less pressure. With a Saginaw steering box on the '06, relief is good.
The part you need is a relief valve. Commonly called flow control valve. Early squares have an SAE hose fitting with an inverted seat seal. Later squares like yours, will have a metric "O" ring seal hose.
Amazon has them, but they don't state which one it is. I would think it is the later...
I use a medium duty truck air tank. Yes, much heaver than the freon can, but it was free. It was on a wrecked truck going to scrap. No worries about a failure, if it rusts out, they just start to leak. I added a gauge and relief valve.
Back in the day (old man comment) it was not so uncommon for mechanics to remove the auto adjusters in their own vehicles. Change the engine oil, adjust the brakes also. All part of the oil change service.
Those brake linings from what I see, are riveted. Another seasoned mechanics' choice over...
The van is okay, but I like the farm gate! Gone are the days the truck stops and you get out your nail file, dress the points and continue on you trip.
Welcome to the forum Mark! It is customary for new members to add a picture of their square.
The charcoal can is okay, but most of us would like to see the truck it is sitting in. Shinny, rusty, whatever, we all like pictures.
I would not worry about contacting a previous owner. What I would do, is replace all the torque converter bolts with the correct new bolts. Install with blue Loctite and torque to spec.
If you do decide to cut the dash, don't just cut the rectangle hole. Instead, cut straight across the top and bottom, not the sides. Bend the metal back on each side to make the DIN hole. That way it is easy to reconstruct the original two shaft mount by bending the metal back, couple tack...
You don't need a new rear. You need a new differential. Buying used rear end could be cheaper, but what do you get? Another butched up potential problem?
If the gear set is okay, buy a diff. Buy new side bearings. I would also want to check and clean the pinion bearings, so at least a new seal...
@AZ Highlander
Okay, very clear now. That is a Govern Lock differential where the locking (spinning) governor is missing. There would be a long pin with the locking part mounted where the two holes are inside the larger opening. One end of the pin has gear teeth that engage the small teeth on...
Here is what you do. Take a soda or beer can and cut the top off. Wipe off the drive housing, then take duct tape and wrap it around the housing and pull it off. Do this a few more times until the duct tape has pulled all the crud off the housing and the tape is now sticking well. Slid on the...
Did you close this up and re-fill with oil yet? I would like to see a picture of the opposite side of the differential.
From what I can see, this differential has been apart before. Eaton makes the GM Govern lock. Eaton also sells a Govern lock, slightly different than the GM part.
Many second...
Looking at this picture just now my mom took, I got a little chill. I was ready to go to pick up my girlfriend for her prom, Two ghosts in the back? Look through the windshield. I had this car a couple years, I guess they were always riding with me??
What @squaredeal91 said. Then check the internals.
Need to check the basics, cylinder compression, leak down test. Your symptoms could be a wiped cam. Pull a valve cover, are all the valves moving the same amount?
How many miles on the engine?
