Pulled the gearbox, pitman, and idler off the other day. Got around to replacing them today.
New steering gearbox, idler, and pitman and nuts n bolts and grease and new stabilizer..
I put a bunch of fluid in the resivoir to the pump and started the truck let it warm up and took it for a drive.
I am displeased with the whining noises coming from the pump or the gearbox.. I do have 35" tires..
What can cause this whining sound? Do i need to tighten the pump to the belt? My buddy put a new crate motor
in there for me and im not sure how tight he got it on the new belt.
There was a whine before, but not near as bad. Its a bit too noticeable.
The steering had a dead spot an inch to either side of 12 o clock. Fixed, but i can still feel the rag joint.
Why whining??????
