Hey fellas, I have an 03 and I have had to replace the power steering pump a few times. ( big tires) Here lately I loose power steering when if i pull into a parking spot or basically anytime my RPMs decrease. I am not sure if its a pump problem or a rack problem. Any suggestions?

 

i had the same problem with my 1998 and ran the lucas powersteering fluid in the system and it fixed it, i believe it was a worn pump and the lucas oil is thicker.

 

Have someone turn the wheel back and forth while you look under the truck to see where it is dripping.
The Lucas stuff works, but is hard on the pump. I used it in my Mustang until I finally replaced the leaking r&p.

 

I guess it is hit or miss. Ive got 12" of lift with 24" rims and 36" tires and rolling right at 80k and no issues.
