just about a block ago i banged the turn and it started clicking like i had a playing card in the fan a flickering sound if i may and apon pullin in the drive i popped the hood and it sounds like it coming from my powersterring box and it also feels as tho and is very warm but has fluid and is not leaking anywhere. im thinking it may be the bearings as i see the pulley wobble a little bit ... now there is a purple slash on top of it almost like a junkyard would mark if it were used im wondering if the previous owner did a ps swap and used a used ps pump not the best time for this to go out on me but it isd what it is ifyall have any ideas or agreee with me that what it is pls lemme know ......j....tyall

 

does this sound right or wrong to anyone.... can i just replace pulley and bearings or do i have to go with the whole pump? cause i know i have to pull pulley off and reuse pulley....anyone.....

 

I had the same problem with my truck and I just replaced the whole pump... wasn't too expensive and it fixed the problem.. It can be your gearbox below it as well..

 

no power steering problem at all one of the bolts that holds the pump to the bracket came loose fell out and was rolling in between the bracket and pulley odd situation i might add so im sittin here with a pain in the *** bolt and a new pump and all the sit to go with it my truck aprt and all to fix a bolt well new one goes back and no harm done know what its like to remove and replace a ps box on my truck know ....good deal will replace when this one goes bad... j
