I’ve been having an issue with the power steering on
#ETCGDadsTruck since just about the first time I started it up. It’s gotten worse over time and recently got to a point where there was virtually no power steering after it warmed up.
In this video I go through my process of diagnosing the power steering problem and also adding a power steering cooler to the system. Watch the video until the end to see how I fixed it.
I hope you find this information useful.
