you can tell if your sensor is bad just by unplugging it and then driving.
In fact I bought my sierra off a good buddy for practically free. he kept chasing what he thought was something out of balance. after new tires, balanced multiple times and even having the driveshafts balanced he gave up and bought a brand new truck, actually a ram with a car engine.... LMAO and sold me the sierra and told me, "I dont know man,sometimes I'm just driving along when the truck just randomly jerks left or right!" I'm like dude, that's not a vibration! I looked it up and found out about this EVO sensor and asked him if he change it and he had no idea what I was talking about. he said the truck was unsafe to drive but I said we should be able to unplug that sensor and if the problem persists we'll find out right away and it didnt act up at all. Hell I passed my wife on the way home cuz she was driving to slow. when I got home I blasted into the field and did like 20 donuts before parking it. my buddies wife wouldnt let him do donuts in his new truck and they were arguing by the time they pulled in. LMAO.
my buddy couldnt believe he gave up on that truck over a sensor.
it's still unplugged..... 6 years later. lots of people do this and forget all about it but apparently that puts the pump into full blast all the time. well, this truck is a farm truck and I really dont car. if it starts going down the road I might swap in an older power steering pump but there would have to be one more reason for me to do that like it blew a line or whatever...
YUP they are both a PITA! LOL
