Power steering pump boot ?

[454Sub]

I know somewhere, some how, someone offers a boot to convert the regular twist lid p/s rezzy to a 5/8in nipple to run a hydroboost rezzy with the twist fitting lid. Im doing this basically out of laziness, as I dont want to bend all the way over to check the fluid level, and a bit more never hurt anyone, plus when my vacation money comes from the union, Im probably buying a Dynatrac Prorock 60, or building my own, and going hydro assist, so I need it anyways. I have heard there is a Dodge fitting that works, off maybe a Caravan or something . I really dont want to yank my p/s pump on and buy the hydroboost/Astro van rezzy honestly, and I really dont want to climb into a Caravan for a 5$ boot. So a part number would be hugely helpful. Or anyway to covert 1 1/2in down to 5/8in.

I think I read its been discontinued but a dealer might be able to locate one somewhere. I don't know the real application.

Might be able to make one of these work. I have used them for lots of things. Lowes and Home Depot sell some in the plumbing department.

I bought one about 6 months ago from the local Jeep dealership. They are still available, they just have to order one.

Lowes/Home Depot was my last idea. Do you have the part number handy for that Jeep part though?

I called the dealership last week and they told me it wasn't available anymore.
Part# 4333475. I went and got 2 of them from the local junkyard. They are kind of a pain in the arse to get, but was my only option. The PVC boots may work, but may not last as long.

They came on 91-95 dodge caravan/ plymouth voyager. They are discontinued from the dealer but are pretty easy to score in the junk yards

Im hoping to avoid the yard for this particular item. Its a major PITA to get to, vans bring the suck on any motor related work. Been there, done that.

It figures that the dealer would discontinue it, they have a habit of not making any sense.

That part number should be good for dodge, Chrysler and jeep dealers. See if a dealer an locate the part from another dealers inventory. Just because they don't make it anymore doesn't mean they are all gone from shelves.

Thats what Im going to try. I would do it now, but Im already on the horn with GM getting gaskets for this 8.1L that I am rebuilding. (220$ for MOTOR MOUNTS ). On that note, I can not wait to see what this thing can do after I removed all GM's weaksauce parts. Big cam, ported heads with smoothed combustion bowls, ported intake, headers, more compression, lightened crank, more fuel pressure, better injectors, roller rockers, a new TCI converter and a dyno session to button it up. I wish I woulda went with bigger valves, but no dice. Worst to worst I will rip the heads back off and do it, nothing to be scared of.

I grow tired of people talking nonsense about this motor, and I cant wait to see it melt rubber till 3rd when Torque Management and all that other save the consumer nonsense is removed. Eventually I can see this truck (04 2500HD) with a 4 link and a 60 in front.

Thanks for the part number, now I can get to work on that thing come monday.
