Wierd Power Steering.
Heres the story, First rack went bad in my truck in like 03 so I replaced it with one from napa, then I dropped the truck 5/6 in spring 05 and when they aligned it they pushed the boot back and all the salt and walter destroyed the rack again so i replaced it spring of 06 lol.
Heres the weird story today i was driving not an issue im turning into gas station to go get raped for gas prices and necxt thing i know the steering wheel is vibrating and the power steering pump is crying. So I check it its empty weird, I havent seen any dripping from the rack? I just dont know where the fluid of gone if it would of leaked I would see it because i park in the same spot in my driveway every day... so I filled it up it seems to be back to normal now I just cant understand where the fluid went its like it disapeared magically what are you guys thoughts? |
crawl under there and check it out...maybe its all wet with fluid? idk.

Did you by chance turn the steering wheel without the truck on before this happened? I know it can cause problems like that.

nope, like i said its like the fluid magically dispeared and I would of noticed if it leaked out. I filled it up and no problems its back to normal and its not leaking either. |
Im not sure if the 2wd have them but the 4wd have a ps cooler near the rack.
Check your lines, also check to see if your ps pump res cracked. |

Its possible. I know for a fact a power steering fluid steeling nymph doesn't exist. You maybe have a small spray out of a hose that goes on to the ground due to being so low. Or the last place that changed your oil decide to steal your power steering fluid. |
