I recommend the '99 Durango 4wd box, and you can modify your pump with these instructions: http://westtexasoffroad.homestead.com/powersteering.html

First check your fluid to see if its burnt.  My power steering behaved like yours when I got it and it was a bad pump, not the steering box.

I am not sure what all your symtoms are, however I just ended up having the input shaft replaced.  My Jeep felt stiff at certain points and I thought it was the box.  The person who replaced it found that the u joints on the input shaft were binding.  Look into it.  It is a heck of a lot cheaper then the box, and may be the real problem.
