    1992 to 5.3 power steering lines

    I will be swaping in a 5.3 into my 1992 2wd 1500 pickup soon.I wanted to know if the new power steering pump uses the old lines or if i can use my old pump or i have to get new lines.I did a search but couldn't seem to find the answer.

    Thanks Joe

    Only issue you may run into is if the 5.3 came out of a truck with hydroboost. There will be a third line. Just remove the hose and cap it off.

    You can use your original lines if u can't get the new ones. I used my 96 lines and they worked fine

    I used both. I used the main high pressure from the LS engine, and i used my stock 94 return. I think the main thing is you dont want to be messing with them too much, because they are a pain in the butt to remove from the rear of the resevior especially if the engines in the truck already
