I've had good luck with Autozone's Duralast line of parts. If you buy brakes from them, get the higher priced Gold series. Just did calipers, rotors, and pads on my Tacoma. The Gold series rotors are the high carbon type, which makes a huge difference when it comes to heat soak. They massively resist warping, which is what creates pulsation, and makes using aftermarket brake rotors a nightmare after being on the car for only a few months. Even with aggressive braking in the summer heat, these haven't done that. They provide smooth, linear stops all day long. Worth every penny of the extra paid. And no, I dont work for Autozone or Duralast.

I just did a SERP belt on a cab over Chevy w3500, its a Isuzu npr. Any how 119 belt aux refrigeration compressor along with the regular air conditioning compressor no real access to the front cause of the cab tilt. It took 3 hours and I use the following tools 3/8 ratchet with 17mm socket on the tensioner with copper pipe handle extension, pickle fork for heavy prying trim removal tool for getting belt started. Running passengers side to drivers side 20 times belt continues to fall off each time I breath on it. Finally got it on and I didnt call anyone and I love it.

After replacing a power steering component I typically fill reservoir start the engine a fraction of a second and immediately turn it off, and refill reservoir after, waiting a minute for the bubbles to burp to top, restart it again a couple times for a fraction of a second waiting a minute or two between each start. Doing this reduces the amount of fluid aeration and time you will have to deal with whining noise from the steering pump from aerated fluid afterwards

I would have just junked it Wow what a job. Can't say anything about reliability but thankfully the couple BMW 540i's and modern Camaros I've owned have never given me a job like that. Love the engine bay space the inline 2. 0l Camaro, 3. 6l camaro, and inline v8's on the 540i's provide. The worst car I've owned to work on was the Mitsu Eclipse Spyder GT. Still better than what I just saw.

Scotty must be in pretty good shape because I didn't hear any grunting or other noises while he strained on those tight fittings. Heck, my elbows and arms hurt just from watching him talk. Now for the (relatively) relevant part of my comment. When I have done either pump or rack I usually regretted not changing at least the high side hose at the same time.

There is no way in this world I would want to tackle that job Scotty. That is why you are so appreciated. Nice to know how it's done but you are welcome to the job and also to the money for doing it. And when Scotty does it I know it's done properly, but I cannot drive my car all the way down there from north of the border so I have my own Scotty up here.

I would have thought in this situation. Deep Cleaning the engine of all oil, grease and other crud first. Before removing the old steering pump and installing new, would be best. So, no debris, etc, would fall into where it could cause problems. I like to keep my engine clean, though I take precautions to prevent any issues.

Tip: Change the damn power steering fluid every now and then Even if it's every 50k miles and you only change what's in the reservoir, it's much better than ruining a 300 dollar pump then having to pay nearly that much for a chinese knockoff that won't even last as long. Glad it's easy to access on my older V8 truck.

since the job was a pain I woulda changed the pump switch as well when they get dripped on by fluid they can fail (ask me how i know), thus safer to not have to go through it all again. also if the pulleys are all greased up, spray them down with brake cleaner so you don't throw the belt at 90 on the hwy. peace
