power steering lines
 

I am getting ready to have some power steering lines made. I currently have an AN fitting in the pump connecting to some braided line. I am taking that off. I do not have the pump in front of me, and I wanted know what the size of the fitting that goes directly into the pump? The 1 I have the AN fitting going into. It is a p/s pump from a 2006 Escalade. I am guesing al ot of the trucks of that year are the same.
Thanks

M18x1.5 for the high pressure, M16x1.5 for low. Here's what I did, but don't go the AN-to-metric route -- it's way too expensive.

Thanks T. What did you use on the other end of your hi-pressure side?

I re-read your thread/post. I see: (2) 16mm x 1.5 (1 of wich came in the repair kit) & (1) 18 mm x 1.5. So, the other end of the hi-pressure line is the other 16mm x 1.5.
Thanks

Has anyone used this fitting for the high pressure side?

Power Steering Adapter Fitting
-06AN x 18mm x 1.5 O-Ring
What is up with -06AN? Is that the same as -6AN?

ya, sorry about that -- I was thinking gear, not pump. the pump is M16x1.5 (go about 3/4 of the way down this page). And -06 AN is the same as -6 AN -- that's just a typo on Jegs' part. Go with one of those and one M18x1.5/-6AN and you'll be golden.

Hey T, sorry I am so slow to pick this up. Here is what I have, correct me if this is not right:

return side: 'power steering repair kit' from edelmann's, PN 39106 (your idea)
High-pressure side: -6AN x 18mm x 1.5 O-Ring at the gear box & 16mm x 1.5 at the pump.
I have everything on except my new -6AN x 18mm x 1.5 O-ring
Thanks,
Brandon

I used a premade line from DRM for a C4 corvette. Mine was a 05 c6 pump to a 96 c4 steering rack.
