Picture of pump

Overflowing steering pump. What would cause the pump to overflow during use? This is a 6.5 turbo truck with serpentine belt.

Bostic, and it's owner, have a long, very negative, history. There are better sources. I had good luck with Ted's.

Run, don't walk, away. Don't look back.

Here's a reply I received elsewhere. Depress advance lever(engine warm, no cold advance circuit) a slight fish bite (JUST begin to detect an occasional interruption to smoothness), means timing is about perfect. if rpm's just slow, too far advanced. If it stumbles, dies, fish bites really bad...

I'd like to. I uploaded to my album, but can't load from there.

Went to Lowe's and bought a filter housing and cold air intake. I put a 4 inch toilet flange on the empty headlight cutout with hardware cloth over it. A 4 to 7 inch duct adapter onto that. A piece of 7 inch duct trimmed to length into that. A 4 inch outlet cone filter is good fit into the duct...

If your not running huge tires or going somewhere you can get a tire wedged in and able to put huge torque into it without spinning it, 3/4 is likely fine. Even 1/2 tons last most people in normal use.

Sounds easier to replace the axle than repair yours. Going full floater?

Check your grill guard for fur, gristle, sneakers...

That's the stuff...

I like the idea. If you've got the time, will and tools. Look up "tug" here.

Best time to do the timing gears and chain too. Check you balancer as well.

Loosen the injectors or the glow plugs. You need to turn the engine to get at the pumps bolts.

You remove the intake. Remove the injection lines. 19mm Remove the injectors. 32mm deep. Get a timing pump gasket set. Get an intake gasket set. Get a injector seal and lines kit. Remove the oil fill. By slowly turning the engine over you can get at each bolt to the pump through there. Mark...

Indian head gasket shellac. Good stuff. Or, gas line Teflon tape. Thicker, better, good stuff.

Aluminum can leak from a hard shelled bug impact. If you go with it, put a screen behind the grill. I think copper is better, and it's repairable. Add a exothermic coating and it will cool up to 30 Percent better yet.

Crappers. Cam would be my luck. Had the crank mic'd.

Low O.P., turbo or cam? As I've posted before, I have low oil pressure, 2 psi at a warm idle of 500 rpm. 30 psi down the road. Pressure verified by 3 manual gauges. I had a loss of oil while driving. Ted's trucks optimizer, very clean, had great pressure. Crank was inspected and had no wear...
