what if there is too much fluid?
i will check it out this weekend, suppose to rain all weekend.
again, could this much rain cause this problem?
if the fluid is at the correct level? should i not worry about this? it may have been doing this since i bought the truck over the summer, maybe i never noticed.

well i let it sit overnight and when i checked it in the morning cold, it looks like it had too much fluid in it so i removed some.
i havent added any since i got the truck over the summer so maybe the original owner overfilled it and started to kill the pump.
what are signs of a bad pump?
thanks.

as for your belt, if it squeeks in wet conditions, then it is time for a new one......that means it is slipping when it is wet.........if you dont change it one day you will be driving in rain and it will come off leaving you on the side of the road...

it should read slightly higher once it comes upto operating temp. and the fluid expands. My powersteering squeels like crazy for the first minute or so when it's below 40 degrees or so. After the first minute or so, the squeel goes away. I've tried the lucas power steering fluid, but that only made it harder to steer for the first few minutes until it warmed up a bit. Like the others have said, I think the squeel is just a thing ranger do.
