I've got my gauges working and charging all good but i cant figure out the power steering. Does anybody know how to make it work? Any help would be great. Thanks

I don't have a 3rd gen FSM to look at, but I am fairly certain it is the same hose routing as the 97 was........

What is it not doing, just no assist?

Did you raise the front end off the ground and while running, run it lock to lock to bleed all the air out?

jeffery41

No i haven't but i will try that. My brakes aren't right either im assuming its all tied together? Thanks for ur info.

patdaly

Yep, tied together. Many times when you replace the pump it is a pain to get the air out, hence the suggestion to get the front wheels off the ground and turn lock to lock. Makes it much easier to get the air out. Even then sometimes it takes quite a bit of turning.

Thanks again. Im not exactly sure which hose goes where from the 03 to the 12 valve pump so if u do please help!!

patdaly

The 03 should be exactly the same as the 97. Sorry I can't find a good diagram right now, will keep looking, perhaps someone else has one?

jeffery41

Thanks alot sir, im gonna take another look at it i may have confused myself!

Here is a thread concerning a conversion, the pictures might help.

Just wanted to thank u for all ur info. Im up and running with no problems.

patdaly

Glad you got her going, was it a routing issue or a hard to bleed air issue?

I'am interested in doing this conversion someday to my 2005 CTD.I also have a 1997 as my donor was yours a 4x4 with a stick?

jeffery41

No mine is 2wheel drive but it is a stick.

diesel yukon

Did you have much problem fitting it in there & what did you do for motor mounts?

jeffery41

No it fits fine, u have to move the motor mounts back in order to clear tohe oil pan. But its not to bad at all i kept the computer and harness and used the tone ring from the common rail built a bracket for the sensor and that will let ur tach work which will charge ur battery.

Did you go with the fan off the 97 or the electric clutch off the 03?
