Been sound proofing the humvee and the quieter it gets the more I notice the power steering. I was thinking about rebuilding or replacing the pump even tho there is no foam or air bubbles in the reservoir I'm not sure it's not sucking a small amount of air around a seal that I can't see evidence of in the reservoir. When you start it there is no noise at all no matter how long you idle but once it's under pressure you can hear it.
Now the humvee is a 91 m998 I believe that the army rebuilt in 2012 with the 6.5 N/A 4 speed so it is the pump with a reservoir, number on the pump is 12469485.

I was wondering what my options are for pumps out there? I see there are direct replacements on ebay but they want a lot for them so I was wondering if there was a civilian model that bolted up say off of a h1 hummer or older GMC pickup. Also is there a difference is military pump noise do some models make more noise than others?
Also since alot of military stuff is serviceable I can't image it would be to hard to tear it apart and find seals at napa. Anyone had luck rebuilding there pump?
