Hydroboost steering not working correctly at low rpms

[slippy3002]

Just sat in my truck for an hour straight turning the wheel. 30 minutes of that was with the truck off, and the other was with the truck running. Throughout he entire process, i maybe added an inch of fluid to the reservoir. Put all 4 tires back on the ground, and she can hardly turn the wheels on the wet pavement. Im starting to think i have something worse than just air in the lines.

Agreed! It shouldn't take that long. Do you have brakes?

Barely. While i was bleeding, i would occassionally pump the brake pedal, and whenever i would do so, the steering would get much stiffer. The brake pedal would go almost all the way to the floor even during the bleeding process.

Yes I do. But the ABS light has always been on since I have owned the truck. I was reading something that the ABS may need to be bled.

Would you update this thread and let us know if the shop fixed and what they did?
