KRC pump
I was on another web site and I came across a statement about a KRC cast PS pump "I would not recommend this for a daily driver." What are your thoughts on this?

They may be talking about the cast aluminum....the cast steel pump should be fine for daily use.

I have the aluminum on mine with zero issues at all. I think the steel pump is cheaper, isn't it?

The steel or cast iron pump is cheaper. It does have a larger volume, 13.1 cc vs 9.2 cc for the aluminum one. There are a couple smaller volumes for the aluminum as well. At least for the old aluminum pump, they have a new aluminum coming out so the specs may change. The larger volume of the cast iron pump is the reason they are limited to 5,500 rpm pump speed.

I can't imagine why either would be a problem, especially a KRC one. The KRC stuff is very high quality, and their new stuff is going to be even better. Since the OEMS are getting away from hydraulic power steering, and the writing is on the wall for rebuildable Type II pumps, they are building their own, improved version with all new parts of their own manufacture.
If anyone needs something from KRC, shoot me an email and I'll get you a price.Joe Hinds
