    replacing power steering pump

    Totally agree on the verdict to stay away from reman units. I went through two remans - Cardone and (surprisingly) ACDelco, in that order - before I finally ponied up the extra bucks for a Tuff Stuff 6188B. I also added an inline cooler, since I'm running 33's. The 1st two units seemed to barely...

    Thanks Rob - sounds like you're following the same path I took, for sure. So far my results have been good - hopefully yours turns out the same. The lower gears definitely make a difference, especially with the 33's I'm running. Best of luck with yours!

    Yep - I've read about the TV cable and how critical it is to adjust it correctly on these transmissions. They did specifically say that it was adjusted after the rebuilt trans was in. From what I understand, the true test is to ensure the 1-2 shift occurs right around 20mph. Mine shifts at about...

    Been a while since my original post, but wanted to send an update to any who might give a rat's... I was finally able to locate a local shop that was willing to rebuild the 700R4. Before I found them, I ran into a lot of "we only replace, don't rebuild". The shop I went with is Gearbox...

    Thanks again to all for all the input - very helpful. I have called around to a few local shops and did finally talk to one that I got a decent vibe from. Guy was friendly and seemed like he knew what he was talking about. So most likely I'll be taking it to them to get the current unit rebuilt...

    Thanks Victor, Matt, & Rob - appreciate the good input. I have been on the lookout for a decent transmission shop, but so far I haven't gotten a great impression from the ones I've talked to in my area. I don't mind doing the work myself, and I actually prefer that. But if I found a reputable...

    Wow, 82sbshortbed, that sucks. Jegs does have some decent prices, and I have gotten stuff from them like a radiator and some minor parts. Hopefully they will make it right for you. Not sure I want to go the cheapest route on the trans, since I've never had much luck with autos, so really...

    Greetings to all. I'm on the hunt for a new/reman 700R4 to replace the ailing unit in my '90 Blazer. It's running a reman stock-spec TBI 350 4-bolt, so not looking for anything too fancy-shmancy. I really just want something that will bolt in, be reliable for at least 100k miles, and capable of...
