Evo delete without removing pump.

Is it possible to put in an evo bypass without removing the pump. If it is how do I do it. Otherwise I'll probably just swap the steering speed sensor.

I have had my EVO unplugged for years.

People have said that can cause leaks or something. Plus how has that affected steering feel I'd rather have stiffer steering, I like to be able to feel the road.

Best way just go with the 95-96 setup like sewlow and east did.

I’d be hard convinced to try to pull that EVO
valve fitting with the pump still on the vehicle. There just isn’t much room to get a wrench in there but...worst case you try it and it works or you end up pulling the pump anyways.

A discussion on the 96 vs 97+ steering gears...

Has any one changed the pressure relief setting on their pump to raise the steering effort?

What blocks it coming off, just the exhaust manifold heat shield? I have a 3 inch body lift so I can see it from the side of the truck pretty good, if that's what you mean.

That might change things, then. Mine is stock height (4x4) and I think it was something in the suspension that would make turning a wrench a tight fit. It’s been a while.

I don’t remember the size of the EVO valve fitting, but it was a larger one...maybe 1” or something like that.

@mr98z71 mentioned something about that here, maybe he can chime in.
