The power steering pump on the Lil Mrs 03 Envoy has been whinning for a while now and it is time to replace it before it goes completley out. She stopped and got one on the way home today. Bought a Chilton book also. My question is the new pump has no resivour and it appears that the old one does. Does ther resivour come off one and go on the other or is it a completley different piece? Can't tell by looking at it from the top and the book is not much help in that respect. Thanks for the help! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

If the Envoy has a "P" vin it gets the one with no resivour. If it is an "S" vin it gets the one with the resivour. Well as luck would have it I have the wrong pump! Go figure! Oh well... if I can get the right one early enough tomorrow I can still get it done. take care././jimbo

If your getting aftermarket pumps they will probably be as loud or louder than the one your replacing.

I would try new fluid and an ounce of seafoam motor tune to see if that made a difference before replacing the pump. Especially if its an aftermarket.

1+ that.

After selling them for 7 years I got a lot of people telling me that the rebuilt pumps are whiny. I put one on my dads truck and ended up getting one from the salvage yard because it bothered me so much (he couldn't hear it cause his radio is so loud and he is hard of hearing).

If you get one from a salvage yard or the dealer it should have the reservoir attached. If you go for a aftermarket one its usually not much work to swap the reservoir over. Usually a bolt or two is all that hold it in place. Remember to lube up the oring with a bit of P.S. fluid before you attach it.

Already have the "new" one on and it is a lot quieter. I did discover that the resivour has to be removed from the old and put onto the new pump. Couple of big clips hold the thing on. yup lubed up the new "O" ring with PS fluid before installation. Works like a champ now! Have a good one././Jimbo

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
