I'm Awesome
I have a 1999 CCSB 2500 with a 7.4L. It has the hydro boost power steering/brakes. I got the truck from my brother who replaced the power steering pump on it as well as the lines to the gear box and hydro boost. I have checked the fluid level in the reservoir and it's good. I have no power steering at idle and if I rev the engine up to 3000 it will work but the pump is noisy. Break pedal seems good, it feels like it is working with assistance from the hydro boost.
My question is, why would there be no power steering? Also what fluid should I be using? Can I use hydraulic fluid like AW46? Or is this power steering pump junk?. Thanks in advance and sorry for the winded question, I'm just trying to explain in detail what I know about the truck. I hate being the person that throws parts at something until it is fixed only to find I have wasted a bunch of time and money to get to the end result.
