Detailed Description

Cardone 20-7832 is a remanufactured power steering pump for Chevrolet C1500, C2500, K1500, K2500 and GMC C1500, C2500, K1500, K2500 trucks from 1988-1989. The pump is rebuilt from an original equipment core and inspected for design improvements where applicable, then verified through hydraulic efficiency testing to support reliable steering performance. The included reservoir and sealing kit simplify replacement on the correct application, while the OE-style construction helps maintain factory steering response.

This part cross-references Chevrolet/GMC OE numbers 26003871 and 26008897 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard steering at low speed or during parking maneuvers
• Whining or noisy pump operation caused by wear or aeration
• Inconsistent steering assist after pump failure
• Fluid leakage from worn seals or shaft wear
• Poor hydraulic pressure or bypass performance

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1988-1989 Chevrolet C1500, C2500, K1500, K2500 and 1988-1989 GMC C1500, C2500, K1500, K2500, with application-specific notes for some 1989 7200 GVW models.
• Use the correct OE fluid and flush the system before installation.
• Inspect the steering system for contamination, binding components, and air in the lines before starting the vehicle.
• If the original pulley has a loose fit after removal, replace the pulley rather than reusing it.
• Some systems require vacuum bleeding to remove trapped air and eliminate pump whine.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufacturing reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, while still delivering a tested replacement built for long-term service. Every unit is hydraulically efficiency-tested before release to confirm pressure, flow, valve operation, steering effort, and noise control.
