Seems crazy that someone would bring a steering pump puller and take just the pulley from a junkyard.
I guess a van has less up front to protect it in a crash.

Never figured it would be this difficult to find and pull a complete setup.

I can't find a complete set (pump, pulley, bracket, tensioner, etc). I don't want to drive all over and can't find one online.

So, my welder is going to make my bracket better than new! I'll have to go with a reman PS OEM pump and hope for the best! It is stock with 235 tires, 4X2, and no off-roading, so I think it will be fine. Heck, it lasted 22 years with the current pump and it is still working! The cracked bracket ruined everything!

Okay, best of luck with the repair.

You can dump a tube of friction modifier in the reservoir once you get the steering bled.
Some people say this will keep the pump quiet

Thanks to all for the guidance! Yes, I've heard about Lucas PS fluid and the like really helping the pump out with keeping it quiet.
