Congratulations on the acquisition

Yes I changed out the pump with a NOS unit, but the problem persisted prior to the pump swap. I was hoping the new pump would have fixed the problem, but no

Today, I plugged the line from the Cadillac valve to the fan clutch. Performed the TM method of bleeding the system ( just to confirm no air in the lines) Cranked it up and immediately a rupture occurred in the line from the Cadillac valve to the cooler. PS fluid sprayed from here to kingdom...

While contemplating my next course of action, I disassembled the original fan clutch expecting to see a bad o ring or ???? But the 2 o rings on the spindle and one o ring in the dust cup look to be okay. Nothing to implicate why a deluge of power steering fluid would blow by

I will look into the pressure tester. I don't want to end up with a garage full of formerly NOS fan clutches trying to overcome this obstacle

Negative! No foaming over, no milky looking PS fluid. The fluid is blowing out of the fan clutch

I had posted a while back that my Cadillac valve was not functioning so I bought a NOS replacement from a fellow SS member. Once replaced and system bled, upon start up the fan clutch blew PS fluid everywhere. I replaced the fan clutch, bled the system and again another fan clutch sprays PS...

To add insult to injury, the HMMWV fan sprayed Dexron all over my 5 ton . It absorbed into the paint. Ugh

Plumbing is absolute correct, double and triple checked, plus I color coded everything during disassembly as a back up. New cooler arrived today and I got it installed this evening. Cranked up the 998 and blew the seals out on the new fan clutch. I'm a little discouraged so the truck will sit...

My fan clutch has never disengaged since I've owned the vehicle, and I should have left well enough alone, but I wanted to fix it. I found a good deal on a NOS time delay module and a NOS Cadillac valve, so that's where I started and that's where my troubles began. Cranked it up and the fan...

I mopped up the hydraulic oil mess, but this is exactly how I found the end cap of the fan clutch when I removed the radiator. The threaded post is no longer threaded. Ugh

You've been busy. You've set a pace for this old man to keep up with. BTW, your HMMWV looks good mister

Got a shopping list going, thanks
