Replacing the power steering pump

Guys, in some old posts I read about the replacement of the tandem steering pump for a simple steering pump since I by-passed the ABC. Could you tell me what model uses the replacement pump?

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

IIRC, people were swapping in PS pumps from the ML500.

VVK also sells compatible pumps directly: https://www.vvkusa.com/products/v8-p...with-reservoir
