Hi there, I'm new to the forum and also new to the world of Duramax
I Know this has probably been answered a few times but I haven't been able to find the answer. I have an 05 duramax After climbing a long hill (Initially I thought it was Altitude related) or pulling a 5th wheel for a while the Power steering and the brakes cause a loud whining noise from under the hood when either steering around corners or braking . Steering and Braking is not affected, they work fine, just noisy, and only while warm, The noise goes away very quickly when things cool down.
From what I've read the Hydro boost System causes the problem.
From some of the Forums I'v read the first try @ a cure is to Flush the System with Synthetic I Did That. (Used a gallon of fluid untill it was subtantially cleaner looking.) I may have helped a little but not much. Both the Brakes and the PS Whine when used.
So the next step is to start replacing parts I guess.
Question is : Do I replace the PS Pump or the Hydro boost Assy or do I have to replace Both?
Has anyone got any advice on the matter I would sure appreciate some help.
From what I've read in other Forums PS Pump replacement doesn't always cure the problem. It seems there are a few bad pumps out there ?
