Re: Power Steering Question

No, unfortunately old one went as core when I bought this one. Set the truck down and tested and steering won't work in either direction without a lot of force. Slight turning of wheel made pump start to groan and chatter. Turned off engine and a liitle fluid boiled out of pump resevoir. Sad part is, I put new steering box on frame when there was only a naked engine on frame, now the truck is about 90% complete from cab forward. You just don't expect this kind of problem when everything is new.
