Bet you are liking the power steering. I have done the same in the past like the wire nut. If it is your daily driver and you got to get to work, got to do what you have to. I have been there several times.

Thanks buddy, can't wait to have it finished, hopefully today!
Hi Terrry. I agree, it's difficult to work on your rigs when it's your DD. Hopefully I can get a work truck someday, still working on the wife on that one! I plan on completely re-wiring my electric fan when I install my new radiator and 14" fan, hopefully pretty soon!

Thanks Mark. Yeah it's nice having some scrap metal laying around, I've almost used all my 1/4" thick plate steel that I had left from my winch mount. It will be nice to steer with one finger, can't wait to have it finished, hopefully I'll get it done today, just need to make a gusset, weld it on, drill 2 more holes, buy the right size belt and some power steering fluid, hook up 2 lines, and bleed the system.
Thanks bud! That would be awesome to be able to go to moab! My rig would still need some work to be able to follow you around ,I still need some lockers...4.7 t-case gears would be nice too!

This past Thursday I went to Spokane to the Auto wrecking yard to get some parts for my wife's Durango to fix the driverside front where I hit the deer.
I went online and ordered a front fender with fender flare(used) chrome grill (used) grill mounting bracket (new), headlight/turn signal assembly (used), fog lamp (new), AC condenser (new). They had all the used parts pulled and waiting for pickup the next day. Kinda takes the fun out of it, but was very convenient, especially since the kids were with us. Parts total came to $360 not too bad, the cheapest estimate we got to have it fixed was over $2100!
That was my first trip to the yard in a aleast a 2-3 years, I definitely want to go back, next time for some yota parts!
^^^Before pic
^^^replaced the grill, and had to relief cut the fender so I could hammer out most of the dent before I could get the headlight to fit back in.
^^^ I still need to mount the AC condenser and recharge the system, fix one radiator mount, install the fog lamp, fix the bumper bracket (because the bumper is slightly pushed in and the driverside front tire rubs the bumper a little when turning) Also need to take the replacement fender in and get it painted to match.

Those deer are going to make a body man out of you yet.lol Really, you did a great job in getting it looking 10 times better then it was and got it driveable again. Great job!!!

Ha, Ha, thanks Terry! It does look a lot better, but I'm no body man, I'll leave that job to the pro's like you! My body tools consisted of a claw hammer, a big crow bar, a grinder with a skinny cut off wheel, a drill and a couple blocks of wood, lol! But like you said, at least it's driveable, and I have the rest of the parts needed to finish it, minus painting the fender.

Power steering pump question...help!
I was looking at my steering pump, and there are two threaded fittings, a bigger one and a smaller one, and there is a return line that just has hose clamps on it. I can't figure out what goes to the smaller threaded fitting, I have the return line, coming from the bottom of the reservoir, and the bigger threaded pressure line coming from the steering box, but can't find a smaller threaded line for the other one.
I'm looking in my Haynes manual, and it only shows 2 lines like what I have, so what goes to that third threaded hole on the pump? I feel kinda dumb, but I haven't even looked at any of these parts in over 2 years, lol. Thanks guys for any help!

Thanks twisted. So it just has some vacuum lines that go to it like pictured below in the Haynes manual? I totally don't remember removing anything like that back when I did the engine swap... guess I'll have to try to find another one.

I've seen people remove the vacuum lines and plug the ports and have others say no matter how far they turn the screw on the intake in or out they see no difference in the pump. So with that you should be able to just be able to put a plug or a small bolt with oring and be fine

I drove my 3rd gen today as it has a trailer hitch and my 86 does not. I will try and look at it tomorrow to see the routing system. You also have a power steering cooler that sticks thru the core support. I don't see it in the picture. It is just a U shaped metal tube that catches air behind the grill.
When I converted the 86 pickup from a 22r to a 22re, the 22rs do not have vacuum lines running off of the pumps. The 22re does. I was concerned that was going to be an issue about it lugging down when turning the steering wheel. It made no difference. I also found a thread where someone had removed their vacuum lines from their 22re power steering pump and did not have any issues as well.
I did a little test on my truck and just plugged the lines to see how it would effect the running of it. I really am not sure what the purpose of the vacuum lines are for the power steering. I know it is supposed to assist and possibly raise the motors rpms a little when turning. I think you could get away with out using those lines if you did not want to hook them up.
