Hey All,
I gotta 93,3vze,4x4,auto excab, 160,000 miles...My problem is the steering is hard to steer,when i got the truck i noticed it leaking from the seal (on the power steering pump)..and the truck was hard to steer..unitil i could get to it i added power steering fluid...i finally changed the seal and for what ever reason made me do it...i just checked the manual for the fluids and sh#$...it takes dextron atf..well i flushed the system twice and added dextron atf...and still is hard to steer...also when i drained the system i found very fine shavings..not to much though ..jus a lil...i know on trannys this is normal...but on P.S. pumps????..also when the engine is cold and the rpms are about 1000..it steers fine, after warming up to normal its steers hard,,,is it time to repair the pump w/ the kit...replace it???... or can i adjust the steering box??..i dont think the box adjustment is nessesary..jus cause when it idles high its fine ...i think the pump is going????
thanks
