Or weak pump which would effect both steering and brakes.

Agreed, you'll be surprised how big a role a dinky little pump like that plays on these trucks.

I have a feeling that if you replace the pump, that should solve your problem or atleast help.

its not to bad, just time consuming/hard to get at.
just make sure you take the plastic plugs out of the new one

i dont remember who did that, but it took them a while to figure out.

I do. But am not going to say names. He has enough problems without
that one.


Today I get to deal with the insurance rep on the rear end collision and the twit that hit me.

I though that you had taken care of that little bugger.

Give me a call sometime late tomorrow afternoon. I most likely will be
doing ball joints. Need to get them done before the end of Sep. Surgery
is set of 9-30-15. I am getting tired of being the pin cushion.
