lex4me Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I special-ordered a reman ATSCO power steering pump from Autozone (listed in their system as coming with a replacement reservoir as well) for my 91 LS since it came with a lifetime warranty and was $30 cheaper than the A1 Cardone with was listed as not coming with a replacement reservoir. The part came in yesterday, but did not have a reservoir with it. The Autozone guys ordered another one at that point, which came in today, again with no reservoir. Has anyone on this list ordered a replacement ATSCO pump from Autozone and had it come with a reservoir? It's not that it's that big of a deal to clean out the old one and connect it to the new pump, but I was hoping to avoid the extra hassle.

ebridges Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I just went to and then started calling 5 local Autozones. Every store had one ATSCO With Reservoir "in stock". BUT when we looked at it, it did NOT have a Reservoir with it. After calling the other stores, got them to visually check theirs in the box, and NONE had a reservoir. Was planning on replacing mine tomorrow. EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The number at the Autozone[Randleman Rd, Greensboro,NC] is 336-272-3510. Where I got mine in Dec. The part # on the invoice is posted above; it is the rebuilt pump WITH reservoir !!! Not sure about the name ATSCO--don't know what that is--it is not on the invoice. The listing on the invoice is "IMP POWER STEERING". All you ask for is a rebuilt power steering pump for your LS400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebridges Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 It appears that they changed vendors but did not change the description. I definitely asked for the part # 061141-5175 which is the same one as the one at autozone online. Thanks EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebridges Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Same price $104.99 w/ $40. core charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddLS400 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I put the same Autozone PS pump in my '90 and it seems to be solid. Much cheaper than any other place and it's a rebuild. I've had good luck with Autozone stuff. Great help at the stores too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Todd, When you got yours at Autozone, did it have the reserviour attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex4me Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 AutoZone called the manufacturer on my behalf Friday. They are shipping Autozone another pump, this time with a reservoir (albeit not connected). I'll let you know when I actually have it in hand. FWIW, Autozone recommended the addition of a PS filter. $17 and a special order later, I have an American Remanufacturers Inc inline 3/8" filter with a "deluxe" 3/8 nipple (no jokes, please), part #2210. Seems pretty basic for $17, but if it does the job and prevents me from having to replace all of this stuff again, I am all for it. I haven't made it to a local hydraulic hose shop for them to re-create my high pressure hose, but I plan to do that next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXIE Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 lex4me-- i am very much interested in what ur hydraulic hose shop comes up with re duplicating ur hi press hose...$ wise. this is an expensive oem item and if they can repair/re-create/duplicate whatever the hose for minimum bucks, it would be a big savings for a lot of folks who go thru the ps repair fiasco if a hose is truly needed. please post back when u get the 'hose shop' report. lexie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Can't understand the filter anyway?? A screen is in the resv. and a screen is on the solenoid valve. Are you sure you are not pole-vaulting over rat-tur_s??? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex4me Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 Haven't been able to work on the car for a week and a half since I was out of town. Back in the saddle again now, though. I'll let the list know how the hydraulic hose co does with fabricating a new high pressure line for me. On the replacement filter, I suppose that $17 for an extra inline filter that is easily replaced is cheap insurance. Thanks to this list, I learned about the solenoid filter just tonight - the solenoid needs to come off of the old rack and onto the new one from AutoZone - I would have installed it without cleaning this screen and instantly had crud in my system. Cruising this list is time well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
