I'm Awesome
Hey guys! So the story is that my 1997 5.7L K1500 Sub is leaking power steering fluid like crazy. I've been looking on here for some writeups on how to swap it out but haven't found anything too detailed. Both the sending and returning pressure lines heading to the gear box are new and I have torqued them down as much as possible (without stripping them) and there is still a major leak coming from behind the power steering pump. I've been going through a quart of fluid a week and I'm sick of it! My questions are as follows:
1. Is the tensioner the pulley located directly below the alt? And is it regular or reverse thread?
2. How hard of a job is it to replace the pump and will a pulley press/puller be needed?
3. Does anyone have a good diagram of the serp system on this motor?
Any additional info would be greatly appreciated...
I would like to get this done Sunday if at all possible, its my only day off of work this week!
TIA!
