Delphi or Saginaw upgrade?

[broncofl]

Well, I've gone thru my 3rd stock ford PS pump. I'm running a 351w and 35" Goodyears. Not too surprised the stock pumps don't last. I've seen the Delphi pumps advertised on Wild Horses, and the Saginaw upgrade pump at most of the other Bronco parts places, just wondering if there is any opinion on which is the better longer lasting setup? Also I saw the adjustment bracket option for the Saginaw but not with the Delphi. Last question, some of the kits included a new 3/4 36 x 3/4 36 u-joint, I still have the old fabric connector. Just looking for the best, longest lasting solution.

thanks

Delphi makes the steering box
Saginaw makes the pump..

You are talking about upgrading the pump, then ask about the steering shaft U-joint%)

Are you wanting information on the steering box or the power steering pump?

Wild horses sells a new HD Delphi Pump w/V-Belt Pulley and pump bracket that will fit stock and Delphi/Saginaw style pumps. this is the link:

Knew Delphi made boxes but not pumps. I have to change my pump and don't want to do it yearly, so thats why the question.

I know your not doing a hydroboost but this thread has some good info on what pump / bracket to use. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140645

I picked up the dual return Saginaw #208606 from Rock Auto for $60.00, that included the pump, core charge and shipping.

After fighting the stock PS pump for years I decided to upgrade to the HD Delphi pump. I can turn my 35s with ease, even in 4wd.

I'd choose the Saginaw pump simply because of the huge availability.
I think there is 15 or more at my local bone yard 10 minutes from my house.

They are quite reliable and more than sufficient to turn heavy meat.

saggy pump
Cheap, easy to fix cheap, plentiful, cheap, and strong.
Did I say inexpensive?

Thanks for all the answers, will check to local bone yards a saggy, since sooner or later I know I'll have to replace again.
