Re: Serpentine Belt Question
I forgot that if you change the power steering pump to a modern serpentine setup power steering pump, you will run into a nasty leak.
Most of these trucks have a power steering hose that has standard fittings on both ends. The new steering pump will have an inlet that is metric and actually seals with an O-ring. The standard hose will thread right into it perfectly, but will leak buckets when you fill the pump with fluid and will drive you crazy.
There is a very specific adapter that Napa sells that will fix the problem. If you search this site, there are write ups about it with the part number. Order it from Napa and it will fix the leak.
