replaced the power steering pump and replaced the trans filter. Both were successful, the pump doesn't leak and the tranny whine is gone!

Had to put a new Tie Rod end on her after the driver's side came off while my dad was driving it. Bout near yanked the truck into the other lane (4 lane road) and he had to limp it to a parking lot.
