Power steering. Try flushing. If that doesnt work, replace the pump, dont think its the pump because RPMs are stable, but that doesnt mean its not the pump, just that the fluid might do the trick.

If the RPMs do drop then it might be the pump, but still change the fluid first.

screamed like a cat with it's tail stuck in a rat trap, would not turn the wheels, but with the torque of the diesel, it did not effect the rpm. that i noticed.

yea going to synth fluid in the PS pump seems to cure all of the problems most people have with the steering.

from low boost/assist and noise .

good to hear it worked.
