About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on delivering dependable replacement pumps that restore original steering performance. This line emphasizes durable materials such as cast iron housings and precise fitment for specific vehicle applications. The 96-7953 pump is part of this line, engineered to provide consistent hydraulic flow and pressure for Dodge trucks and vans, ensuring proper steering assist and control.
Detailed Product Description
This power steering pump features a cast iron housing for strength and longevity, suitable for heavy-duty use in Dodge B1500 through Ram 3500 series trucks and vans. The pump includes a remote reservoir with a cap, eliminating the need for a separate reservoir installation. It uses an O-ring type hose port for secure sealing and a hose barb inlet attachment for straightforward hose connection. The outlet is bolt-on style with a 16x1.5 thread size, designed for compatibility with factory steering systems. The pulley attachment is press-on style; however, the pulley itself is not included and must be reused or purchased separately. The package includes the hydraulic pump, a sealing kit, and an instruction sheet to assist with installation.
