Have a shop look into this and repair it the right way, stop throwing pumps on this, do it right find the route cause.
Testimonial: "Been there done that. CRUSHED the car. the manufacturer of the pump was most likely using faulty parts. Autozone ps pump. Got one from napa and no more. all Work was done at an autoshop. im no grease monkey. hahahah"

If it only goes stiff part of the time, the box is probably OK.
Before considering major surgery:
If none of these check out, then consider replacing the pump.

Any all wheel drive will give less fuel miles.(compared to ones you engage as needed) The Chrysler v8 is a time proven engine, pretty much a copycat of a chevy with some changes to make it their own. Overall, I haven't heard any really bad stuff about them. If you look at the problems on this site, there seem to be fewer jeep probs than all other vehicles. (even though some problems are really weird!!!)
What you really need to see is the vehicles history to make sure it's been maintained and has not been back to a shop for the same thing over and over.
Good luck!

I don't know what the date was when you inquired. But, if you drive it will be o.k. as long as there was no fluid loss. You will just have to overcome the stiff steering. If you lost all of your fluid you will seize the pump and then it will throw the belt and you will be walking because your water pump will cease to turn and the engine will over heat.

get a haynes rebuild/repair manual-or chec out library sec629 for chilton remedies
SOURCE: power steering pump wines and stiff like when
If front end steering linkage and ball joints are free, likely the pump has worn out and is not making enough pressure.
