There is a guy on here his ss name is DROPRAT he is parting his truck out and selling stuff reasonably cheap. He still has it i believe and it will be easier just to replace it.

Can you post that, perhaps they could get added to the cross reference spreadsheet? I will also be needing one of these shortly.

m5a1stewart thanks for asking that question and please forgive my asking a similar question. The hose under the pump on mine appears to be just a regular hose held on by band clamps. It seems to be leaking and even after tightening it a couple of times it still leaks is the hose on yours like the ones on a car or just a regular hose like mine?. I feel like it may have been a quick repair by the motor pool just to get it out the door. ......

If you need the high pressure hose, the part number is 11664558. A google search for that & hose, will get you one.

It is the return hose (thanks for the picture) I have to investigate the reason it is still leaking . Now that I know it is the right hose I may need to modify it slightly . May be a new hose and double clamps will solve the problem....Thanks all .....

The return line needs to be hydraulic hose specifically rated for Oil. Pressure is not an issue with a return line. Do not use heater hose or single walled hose. Hose made for oil is typically double layered. These hoses do swell with time and age and that can be the reason for the leak. Oil can be seeping in between the layers of the hose at the outside tip where the clamp bites. Tightening the clamp is a short term repair to stop the leak on a old hose but the more the hose is squeezed, greater cahnce for a blow out or failure down the road. Age and heat also make it stiff, less pliable, and more likely to seep.

Return "oil" hose is cheap and easy to find. Maybe $3 foot if I recall correctly.

Mine did the same thing and was an easy fix. Make sure to have a container or hose to catch the fluid as it can be a messy job and most of the oil will tend to leak down.

JP, I clearly stated what the hose is in post#7, including a link to an OEM source(with all the data).

M923 leaking powersteering fluid

My truck (M923) is leaking power steering fluid from the reservoir vent. Does anybody know why? The reservoir isn't too full, I have checked the fluid level when cold and hot, if anything I need to add a little bit. Is the reservoir being pressurized somehow causing the leak? I put fluorescent dye in the fluid to see where the leak was coming from and it's definitely from the vent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only thing I can think of is that your getting some sort of pressure "turbulance" and its kicking fluid around in the res. Ive seen this in cars and can be linking to problems with the steering rack. in your case the gear box or assist ram.

Is this rebuild kit for the nhc250 pump? and does it include a pump shaft seal. thats where mine is leaking at. thanks
