I'm changing my rack body on my 1 ton to a dump body. Does anybody have some websites that sell electric over hydro pumps for this application. I know of surplus center, nothern tool. Any other out there? Thanks for your help.
Northern also has an electric clutch engine mounted hydraulic pump. Might be cheaper and more reliable with more flow/pressure than the electric version.
If your truck has the ability to add a power take off to the transmission, I would use a mechanical pump and reservoir for the system. The electrics seem to go bad after a few years, but the mechanical pumps will last forever. It might be less expensive initially to go electric over hydraulic, but in the long haul you will spend more replacing them. If you are not going to be keeping the truck long term, I would use the electric.
