How can I tell what's wrong? I have a 2000 GMC 2500 with the 6.0. The power steering seems to work while driving down the road but when making a turn it's almost non existent. It seems to help when I give it more throttle.
The brakes work fine for normal braking but if I press hard enough they will get to a point where it feels like it breaks free and goes to the floor.
The fluid is topped off and appears pretty clean. The truck has 242,000 on it. I have jacked up the front end, turned the wheel lock to lock to get any air out of the system. That did not help. I have read that in 2000 a lot of ps pumps broke shafts. With the serpentine belt removed I cannot tell if it is broken. The shaft doesn't pull out. I have a pump here but dont want to replace if it's something to do with the hydroboost.
