I have one. PM me and I can get you a picture.

Have a black lower dash with no cracks if you're interested. Just over the line in NJ.

I have a brand new Chryco pump for 2.5 from my 87 serpentine belt setup. Still have the box. Was installed once, and removed. Had a power steering issue that turned out not to be the pump. Can send pics if interested.

Have one for a 2.5, if that's what you're looking for.

Just read this after sending Don a PM. I'm very sad to hear about his passing. What a nice guy. FWIW, when I bought my 87 Laredo, it had ALL the chrome exterior stuff, and Don bought it all! It wasn't my thing. May he rest in peace, God bless him. Tom

Great job, Don! You are adding years to your life (and drive time behind the wheel)!

Have the fog light switch. Probably have the module, too. Can you link me to a picture of one?

Sorry for digging up a relic, but did anyone save a copy of this? Link is dead! Thanks!

PM sent.

DC - it's the strangest thing I've ever seen. Third set of parts - new everything, and still with symptoms. Since the shop did their thing to it, the pump doesn't moan and whine any more, so I'm guessing there's no longer air in it, but fluid is still sloshing around the reservoir pretty good. I'm so disgusted, I'm thinking of selling it. Got a guy coming to look at it today, jerry-rigged PS setup and all. The other thing I might do is swap in a pump from a 4.0, with the reservoir attached, the less lines, the better. Will see if I can dig one up at the boneyard.

Warrior, thanks. Yu have v belts in an 86? Is that the 2.8 v6? DC, they were reading at the port in the high pressure hose where the sensor goes

OK quick update. Insane how long I've been without the MJ. Bleeding it forever wasn't getting it done, so I took it to a shop around the corner. They said the pressure was over 600psi, but weren't interested in why, like maybe there was air still in there. They futzed with the valve, put a cooler on it, and got it to 300psi and called it good. It no longer leaks, and is quiet, but they did a bit of redneck engineering. Question for the board: if I were to get a later model pump with integrated reservoir off a later 2.5L, with bracketry, would I have to do a whole lot of messing with it to have the pulley line up with the other pulleys? Has anyone put a later model ps pump on a renix engine? Thanks Tom

And, yes, the reservoir was the first thing I replaced, mostly because it was soaked in PS fluid and I had no idea where it was coming from. I figured maybe it had a crack in it. First wrong guess in a series of them! I kept the old one and have a Crown Automotive reman on there now.

Yeah, I believe the remote reservoir (T/C) setups were used on TBI 2.5L and the other style on carbureted models. OK on the fitting -- I bought a new MOPAR one with the correct part #. How would a line be routed to create a high/low spot? You're right about the initial problem -- maybe NONE of my components was to blame. Any value in bleeding the system with vacuum applied to the reservoir? Thanks for all the great advice! Tom
