I'm Awesome
92 Chevy K2500, 4x4, floor shift transfer case, 350 with manual transmission, 33 inch tires on 6 inch pro comp lift, and I beleave stock gearing. I got the truck earlier this year and since I'v been in Texas the whole truck is falling apart.
I put this in the Axles + Brakes section because I think that this is the appropriate thread for the new problem at hand.
To start out just letting you know my power steering is taking a crap and decides when it wants to work or not. It wines a little and wont turn with any power assist when the clutch pushed down. One of the P/S lines on the gear box was loose and it had no fluid of any kind on, near, or around it. So I tightened it back up and checked to see if the reservoir was full and it is full so I'm stumped on this part. Maybe the pump is clogged? or the gear box is clogged?
Now when I am going forward or backwards I turn the wheels to the left or right and when I get close to full lock the truck has some resistance and if I let off the gas the truck stops like the brakes are on.
I also noticed that I might have a bad wheel bearing. Once in a while I will hear some grinding and I jerk the wheel one way or another and it stops. I am trying to get a hold of a jack to check things out on this part.
And when I put the truck near full lock it looks like one wheel is turned noticeably more than the other and turning left or right in reverse i leave a tire mark on the road from the outside tire. (with the steering at full lock to the right (wheels turned to the passenger side) in reverse the driver tire leaves a mark, and with the steering at full lock to the left(wheels turned to the driver side) in reverse the passenger tire leaves a mark.
Side note i have noticed that my brake pedal has to be pushed farther down before the brakes engage. This has been progressing over the past few months. There is no fluid around any of the brake lines. Any thoughts.
