NOT A LEAN VS RAKE THREAD!

Now what im wondering if i can just eliminate the whole power assist setup and go with a 96 PS pump and gear box.............

Yes you can, or just change the fitting in the pump an the pressure line to 96 parts if your pump is fine....

Awesome , i kinda thought i could...
Well i just put a new gear box on, im going to replace my PS pump it is starting to make a lil noise when i first start the truck in the cold mornings.

So i will replace the gearbox, lines and PS pump with 96 parts and eliminate the whole problem. I read where GM made a delete kit for this problem but cant seem to find it..

If you get a pump for a 96 it will probably already have the fitting in it so I'd just use the 96 hose as well. The GM delete kit was just so you could keep your factory line. A new 96 line is cheaper than that kit though

interesting right there, reducing the pressure should help too....

Unplugged The power steering (PS) solenoid actuator behind the PS pump and what a difference. Truck tracks straight and i dont have to fight with it anymore....

Steering is over boosted but its like driving a lifted caddy.......

SOOOOOOO SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTHHHHHHH

Well not ever truck responds the same , but in my case it let me take control of my truck again. For example being in a long turn and then the steering get REAL loose and then tight or just a straight line it pulls to the left or right depending on road structure like ruts, crowned ect! So all I can say is if you have problems with steering unplug the PS pump and give it a try , it's way over boosted but its smooth.

I used to feel like a ping pong ball bouncing between lanes, now it's a straight line I can even let go of the wheel and it tracks straight . If I did that before I would end up in a ditch!!!
