freeman Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 when i got my truck a little over a week ago the private dealership was having the power steering pump replaced. since then its been making noise and been a bit high effort when i steer sharply left or right or try to turn with the truck stopped, i thought maybe some air was in the line and jacked the front wheels off the ground and tried turning it lock to lock several times with the power steering fluid cap off, i couldnt really tell if it made a differnce, also when i take off i can here it whine up. did a search and found a few things but not really sure. ive checked the level several times and its good. any info would be appreciated.

ccgoodwrench Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ask the dealership if they flushed the system, If not, might be some metel in the fluid from the old pump failure. Why did they replace the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeman Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) they had a mechanic shop inspect it before i picked it up, the mechanic said it was making a 'noise' so he thought it needed to be replaced, also just now i tried to go to the store and i now have NO power steering what so ever, making a knocking noise now, i can tell its coming from the pump area, checked the fluid and it does not look/smell burnt.

Fireman31 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 the pump is probably bad, they most likely never changed it.......seeing how you just bought it they should fix it FOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Fast SS Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Yep, mine is an 06' and is starting whine alot. Nothing wrong with steering though, just whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
