No HD R&P,the R&P in your KJ is pretty much the same one as Durango's,Dakota's,and Ram 1500's.Stop getting the crap R&P's from places like advance auto/auto zone(OEM new is the best bet).You may have a PS pump issue also,the pressure release valve may be bad.Also do not hold the steering at full lock for more then 2-3 seconds at most,the #1 way to blow a pump and/or R&P.
The 2 R&P that have been put in since the original have been OEM. They were replaced by the dealer under warranty. With that, do you really think it's the regulator? I had them run a pressure test on the pump last time they replaced it.
