hey guys i have droped in a VN V8 into my patrol i have used the holden power steer pump when i go off road the slightest resistance against the tyres and i get a huge squeeling noise is my belt too loose cause i think i have it tightish as it is

could be lose
could have a slight block in the hose somewhere
or the power steering box itself

is the vn pump good to use on a patrol? seen as ya moving much larger tyres?? specialy out on the tracks?

not sure if it is good enough does any one know?

MAYBE the pump hasn't got the PSI capacity for turning the larger rubber. Does the pump 'buzz' a lot when turning the steering? It could be bypassing internally..

Nick

it does buzz a little bit when turning then at full lock there is alot of squeeling

maybe have to upgrade ya power steering pump,
my thought were cause theres a lil to alot more tyre to turn it put it under far more strain
then if it where back on the vns smaller tyre

will the GQ pump adap onto the vn motor?
its in the same spot isnt it?
same side and all from memory

get a new belt and keep it tight, and carry a spare. vn v8 had trouble with ps belts from new and , keep it at the correct adjustment.

The squealing is from a poorly adjusted belt.....

retighten the belt and try again .......

also is the belt a new one or the one from the motor, maybe replacement time for the belt......

a handy can of spray stuff called "GRIPPO" / " BELT GRIP" is availiable from 99% of auto shops...... helps with sliping belts really well, I use heaps of it as the Patrol is usually in wet conditions and the 'rubber/steel pully/ & water combination really does SFA for belt life and grip !!

I'd bet it is a loose belt too, had the same problem on my patrol. If it is a Saginaw P/S pump it will have plenty of grunt to turn the larger tyres. My Saginaw pump is off an old 202 powered Commodore and tyres my 35s with ease, as long as the belt is tight.

thanks guys will do that if i still have problems you guys will hear from me again but some people say that i might have to upgrade the pump

can any one tell me the psi a GQ patrol power steer pumps out and how much a vn v8 power steer pumps out

Ring Driveline Services at archerfield they will know all the specs on Both p/steer pumps on 3275 7650 for they rebuild them on site. They rebuilt my FJ40 manual steer box and even with 35's on 10inch rims and a wrong amount of lift it didn't wonder on the road.

Makes no diffference either way, as suggested above Tighten belt...

i have tightened the belt but it appears when i am at stand still and try to turn its worse i had a look under the bonnet and it looks like the pump is stopping as i turn and the belt is tight

Pump stopping is a different story, hold at fast idle to see if it turns,
then it is either pump not highenough output at idle or it may be bleeding around vanes.

what is and how can i tell if it is bleeding around the veins is it possible the fluid is boiling and how can i tell if this is?

Is it ok when cold>>

Try some Moreys oil in system, about 200mil
