I've been searching for answers to this for a few months... and now I'm just plain so frustrated that I need some other thoughts...
It all started with a power steering fluid leak. Popped the hood looked around couldn't find it or tell where it was coming from... Changed out the Power Steering Pump, and the cooler because is was well rusted and ready to go while I was in there. Bled the system as best I could and suddenly I started losing power steering until I popped the brake pedal. Bled everything again, many many many more times twisting the steering wheel back and forth. Next thing the seal on the steering gear box failed. Brought the truck to the shop and had them change out the steering box.
Still had the occasional bump in power steering loss, but it was pretty intermittent. Suddenly my ABS light is on and now I seem to be having more and more episodes of losing power steering until I bump the brake pedal...
PLEASE tell me someone here has a new place for me to look! I love my truck, but this has be to the point of frustration that I'm considering the unthinkable and getting ready to drive it off a cliff!
