Does your ps still work? I had the SAME EXACT thing happen on my truck and replaced the pump and it worked well for about three months now it sucks again.
No clue...
BTW, I don't even drive my truck. I put less than 10k on per year...

What size tires are you running? Where did you get your new pump? Remember a new pump doens't always mean a good pump. If you've checked for belt issues, and the new pump is still good, have you looked at the front end parts to make sure nothing is worn or binding?

That is why we are going to use the 1 yr warrenty...just in case
I replaced the serp with the pump as a pm measure. The tensioner is good and tight w no lateral movement.
Just looked at the front end. I suppose I could jack it up and turn left and right to see if I feel a catch.
The fact that it doesn't occur at higher RPM's leads me to believe it is a bypass or belt type problem. In my opinion the belt problems seem nonexistent, so this leads me to the bypass/fluid flow...but I should inspect the front end better.

There is a ton of good stuff on that site for future use.
