i am interested to hear what the issue is, or if he is just wanting to remove it since it will be of little or no use.

I'd seen the pump on eBay already. I also found a lead that led me to RockAuto to validate, but a 1989 Chevy P30 vehicle does come with a 3.9 Turbo Diesel engine option. They have the steering pump numbers, but they don't have any listing on the actual adapter.

the adapter is likely a Cummins part. one of the iowa boys may be able to help with that. if you have an ESN Nick(6lcummins) might be able to chase it down for you. or if you are lucky he or Ryan may have something laying around they can get a PN from.

The other thing I've found is that some commercial applications of the 5.9 did offer a steering pump, but those get even pricier. Example
that is the bad boy! that would be an awesome pump if you wanted to run a hydralic assist or something. i bet it would work just fine without it, but you might need a well built box to handle the increased pressure.


So, I've done as much homework as I can on this tonight, send Randy an e-mail and we will see what he comes back with tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your insight & information, as a Cummins newbie, I really do appreciate it.

no problem!
