Part Number Application Source?

[flint54]

I'm looking, so far without success, for an online resource that

can tell me the range of applications for a given part. For example,

a power steering pump that comes on a 2003 TJ, probably comes

on other years, perhaps the whole TJ line ('97-'06) or other models

as well. I'm pretty sure a dealer can do this, but can anyone?

I'd like to find a resource like that too. Never have found it either. BUT if you're asking will a 2003 TJ power steering pump will fit your 92 with the new manifold & bracketry, the answer is yes. I have a 2004 pump on mine. :cheers:

Rock Auto. Highlight the part number on the part you're interested in and a box will open showing an application/year guide

:agree: have done this many times for several vehicles

Interesting on Rock Auto, except they don't use the OEM part numbers.

 

Nonetheless I tried it and found that, according to them, the PS pump

is same for both the 97-06 TJ's and the 96-01 XJs. I have an 03 TJ and

an 01 XJ pump side by side and they do not have the same OEM part numbers,

or the same reservoirs, or the same pulleys. My guess is that Rock Auto

is telling customers that their part will _work_ for both applications, even

though it may not _originally_ be the same.

 

I guessed that any pump from the TJ series would work, and I know the newer

XJ pumps will also work, but I sure would like to know if any actual difference,

(other than what's obvious) like pressure/flow data for example, or whether the

pump itself is actually the same.
