No power steering
 
Finally got truck ready for test drive . 69 GMC-327-700r4 trans. Problem in power steering. 2 handed operation unless moving down the road. Sitting still almost impossible to park and turn wheel to back out of carport. Would a bad pump cause it to be that hard to turn?
Thanks JR

Having seen the inside of a PS pump, I can say that if its turning, its working.
Is there any fluid in it?
Shotgunning parts gets expensive.

It has fluid and is turning so I am gonna have to try a pump. I agree on the expense but not sure what else it might be.
Thanks

Finally found out it is a metric pump so got 86 model pump installed. Waiting for rain to stop to try it out.

New pump fixed problem but now real sensitive steering. Have to really stay alert or I am changing lanes. Any way to make it less quick or sensitive?
Thanks
