1988comanche Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hello, its been a while since posted here, but I could use some advice. I believe my Gas tank is leaking. The power steering pump i just got (remaned at O'Reillys) leaks as well. And the rear Dana 35 doesn't grab anymore (whoopsies). Should I replace Gas tank with OEM ish and swap it out, or try an find a lighter alternative like a fuel cell or something. Where can I get a reliable power steering pump?!? And should I try and replace gears in the Dana 35 or replace with something else? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 the new steering pump should be under warranty where exactly does the gas tank leak? if it's leaking from the pump opening seal, a new tank isn't needed never spend money on a dana 35. I would invest my cash into an axle that will last (44, 8.25, 8.8). UNLESS it was just blown spider gears. those can be had for pretty cheap and are easy-ish to replace.

jdog Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 OH, then figure out where the tank is leaking, if it's the seal replace it, if the top of the tank is roasted, then replace it. Take the pump back and try again, also make sure it's not the lines leaking. As for the rear end I agree with Pete. As far as where to get a good pump I dunno.

I have yet to open her up, once it's not 0 degrees here in KS I will crawl under and open her up! Last year it was drivable with clicking noise and a jerking motion, then it wasnt haha. So I'm thinking it is just the spider gears, could be wrong, (kinda want it to be so I can tell the wife I need to spend more money on the MJ for something better). The pump probably is under warranty but ima see if I can get my money back and try somewhere else. Took 4 clutch master cylinders for O'Reillys to get me a good one and I'm getting older with less time haha. (Gas tank)So last time I checked it it was somewhere between the plastic guard and the tank itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Just now, jdog said: I thought we looked them up once We did, they should still be floating around and moderately priced if I remember right. It’s been a minute since I last looked at the PS pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
