[caryt]

Has anyone found a way to replace the elect pump with a belt driven pump?

Pretty sure PSC makes a kit. I found it when I was doing the High pressure mod on my stock box

I know they do for the 3.6. Don’t know why they wouldn’t for the diesel. It’s my plan as well.

PSC only makes a kit for the 3.6 not the 3.0 unless you want another elect pump.

Maybe it’s on their future roadmap.

I wouldn’t count on it. Diesel install base seems too small for a lot of other aftermarket companies

Don't think PSC can do it on the diesel because of the way the front of the engine is designed. There is no room.

The PSC on the 3.6 was a tight enough squeeze that required some massaging of the brackets so it didn't contact the frame.....Of course PSC claims "They never heard of that issue" ......I think that's the script all aftermarket companies read from when you call the with feedback?

Regardless.......not in a hurry to do another one of those kits!

Don’t think a belt driven pump is going to happen. Especially since 3.0 is not offered anymore.
I did end up with PSC remapped electric pump (1800psi full time) not variable psi as factory. Along with PSC gear box plus ram. Works surprisingly good. Don’t think I need belt driven pump.

I had been running a drilled/tapped gear box with ram. Plus the apex boost kit for the electric pump. Not good for street. Ok off road.

Agree. Before getting the latest offering from PSC, I was close to going custom. Installing the belt driven pump in the same place as the electric pump. Coming up with an idler and custom pulley. So happy I didn’t have to go down that road. But I still think it’s doable.

Replaced the whole steering set up with PSC gear to include their electric pump. so far (50,000 miles) I have had zero issues.
