My order just arrived. I am gonna slap this in this week before the AZ Stampede.
I am running a mustang pump, anyone see any forseeable issues?

Not the best pump for that system but it'll work ok until you can get a better one in there.

I always ran mustang pumps or replaced them with 01 super duty (has dual return) had issues with lockers and 37" in the rocks, switched to Saginaw little better but still have issues with 37's and locker in the rocks

I have 37s and lockers. My March serpentine set up is for mustang pump only. I am hoping to not have to switch my accessory drive set up.

Good luck but I'm afraid you will not be happy. After doing the explorer swap on both of my broncos I ended up spending the money on Saginaw brackets and stuff to switch the pumps. But I have ram assist on mine.

I don’t run a ram assist, but the Explorer pump worked decent for me. Except I kept losing the shaft seal on them. After a couple years, and 4 different pumps, I switched to the Saginaw pump w/remote reservoir. Now I’ve finally have some time on my Bronco with zero steering issues, the way it should be.

When you do the Saginaw swap add in a fluid cooler for more capacity can also help. Bc sells a filter kit which can be ordered to run a single or dual return pump with hydroboost.

I run the MOAB setup with WH Extreme Power Steering Pump setup. Running 37's and seems to handle them fine. Have not done any hard core wheeling with it yet. Planning on adding ram assist later if I find it necessary.
