Power steering pulley replacement

[JayhonB]

Hello, i have a friend that needs a power steering pulley for a 86 comanche 2.5 4x4 and we've been looking for one online and the junkyard to no avail.

 

Was wondering if theres one that could replace it? Similar one that could fit?

 

Thank you!

Is it TBI? I would assume so. With serpentine belt?

 

Look to other Renix era 2.5s or 4.0s. 

The 2.5 pump is configured differently in that it has a remote reservoir, it is otherwise the same pump. 

 

HO pulleys will NOT fit, different belt alignment.

If it is a v-belt set up, your search just got a lot harder.

I think it is we have the original pulley but we might just go to another junkyard or keep an eye on ebay

I'm about 95% certain it's a standard GM pulley if it's a V-belt...

Two v-belt pulleys were used for the 86; one with A/C and one w/o A/C. Which do you have?

Whether or not he has AC shouldnt affect the routing for power steering, unless I am misunderstanding something.

If there are two v-belts, one should run the WP and alt (necessary to drive) and one the P/S and A/C (not necessarily necessary).  I've had an A/C compressor go bad and was able to just cut the belt and still drive the truck...but then it was a Chevy, not a Jeep.

The 84-85 XJ with the 2.5 was carbed, not TBI. 

Carbed ran Vbelt, TBI had the serpentine. 

 

99% sure it was TBI.

 

Guess we'll never know. 

 

 

So many photographers round here...............

Big Dan, you made me recheck - and you are correct. The parts manual had two entries for the pump pulley; one for A/C and one for non-A/C models, but both entries were the same p/n and I didn't notice it. If the parts numbers are the same - why list it on two lines?   Must be a trap..

I notice it says "with American air conditioning" - what about factory installed air conditioning?

Good question. It's a serp belt pulley. The J3226937 pulley above is a v-belt pulley.

If OP has a v-belt (which, from his comments, I believe he does), AC will not factor into the power steering.  They are on two different pulley arrangements.
