    power steering pump whine issues

    Not a bad Idea. I used the clamps that came with the cooler kit. I usually prefer EFI clamps, but I didn't have any in my garage at the time. I looked into OEM cooler and kinda laughed at the price. This Hayden cooler is quite a bit larger, and I placed it in a better air flow location, and...

    power steering pump whine issues

    Well, here's the update. It worked a ton better! But... it still has an issue somewhere. After driving down the mountain pass dropping around 2000 ft, I could tell the brakes were not as good as when they started. This was not due to brake heat. Its not a steep grade, but you lightly apply...

    power steering pump whine issues

    Update.. Last night I finally had some time to install the cooler. I flushed the system with a gallon of fluid to ensure that there was zero AFT left in the system. I built some brackets out of 3/8 thick aluminum and bolted it up. And yes, I used power steering line :) I made sure that the...

    Electric fan for Condenser?

    This is how I did my fan setup. I used a 06 Silverado electric fan setup, and I use the ECM to control them. I also wired up a trinary switch so the A/C will kick the fan on when it needs it to cool the condenser...

    power steering pump whine issues

    I'm installing my cooler this Wednesday evening. I have a Napa pump on order just in case, but before I abandon the GM pump, I want to try it with the cooler and bleed the system with all new fluid. I confirmed that GM recommends on a 96-99 K2500/3500 with a hydroboost to use power steering...

    power steering pump whine issues

    That is an interesting point. I've honestly never looked into this before. I've converted quite a few different rigs to hydroboost, and I just used the stock pump and a T into the power steering return line. Never had an issue. My issue is strange for sure. If the damn pulley didn't have to...

    I will take a look. I believe so, but I will confirm.

    power steering pump whine issues

    I'm using a brand new hydroboost that is designed for a 96-2000 k2500-3500 truck that would have a 7.4 or 6.5 diesel engine. I don't have the EVO system anymore. I took it one step further and used a hydroboost line set from a 95-96 that wasn't designed for the EVO system, so there's no power...

    power steering pump whine issues

    Hey everyone, thanks for all the tips. Sorry for my late reply! I will try to answer all the questions. Originally when I converted to hydroboost, I was using my stock pump that came on the truck back in 1998. It was getting a little tired before I installed the hydroboost system, so I...

    power steering pump whine issues

    I installed a 1 ton brake system on my truck. I have the 1 ton hydroboost/MC used on a rig with a 7.4, and the 1 ton front calipers. Also, rear disc brakes. The truck stops amazing :) I tried a two different Cardone pumps. The JB7 for vacuum brakes with my T fitting for the return line...

    power steering pump whine issues

    Oh trust me, I'm to the point that everything is suspect. The only thing is, I first replaced a quiet but weak pump. I have electric fans so its really easy to tell where the noise is coming from. The hoses are only 2 years old, so I highly doubt that's the issue, but maybe I should try...

    I guess I find a little comfort knowing I'm not the only one.... lol

    power steering pump whine issues

    Alright... I'm getting pretty frustrated with this. Every single new pump I buy whines. Currently, it goes away after it warms up, but its annoying for sure. I originally replaced my original pump with an O'Reilly master pro pump. It was quiet, but only lasted about a year and started to...

    99-2000 Escalade seats vs stock leather seats

    The truck seats don't use an electric motor to adjust the seat back. It adjusts with the plastic lever on the side of the seat. The electric part moves the seat forward and back, up and down height wise, and tilting the seat as a whole. With the tilt, I can get the seat back close to where I...
