I've got an 06 jeep laredo 3.7 n my steering pump keeps breaking what else do I change? Both lines? N cooler?

What keeps breaking? The pulley? The pump internals?

My steering pump keeps breaking steering fluid pours out of reservoir n when I take cap off it pops off lotsa pressure build up in there

2 possibilities I can think of, 1) your pressure hose is flow restricted or 2) your pressure control valve on the pump output is faulty. Usually the pressure control is a fitting that screws into the pump and then the pressure hose screws into it. If you're using the same one on each pump, try replacing it with a new one. They are available, but I've never tried to locate one myself.

What kind of oil are you using in the pump?

I'm using steering fluid I'm not sure what brand..... but I'll change my steering hose n give that a try

The reason I asked is that some oils, such as auto tranny fluid can foam and might give you some of the symptoms you are describing

I believe Jeep recommends PS+4 in their steering systems. Any brand, but meeting +4 specs.
