I''ll be going through and trying to troubleshoot these issues with what I find online, but I'm hoping in the meantime if someone has experienced the same issues with my specific scenarios, they could post up their insight.
The steering wheel has some play. I looked at the column all the way to the power steering box and it appears to move both left and right even with the smallest amount of input from the steering wheel, so I would guess it has something to do with the pump? Is there anything I can do to test that or fix it on that side?
Also, I randomly get the C0306 code aka Service 4 Wheel. So long as I'm not getting the code I can shift into 4hi and 4low with zero issues, but as soon as it pops there is no life from the selector. If I shut the truck off for about 10 minutes it will go back to normal again. I haven't driven around in 4wd to see what happens if the message pops while it's already engaged though. I read that sometimes replacing the selector could fix things? As they aren't expensive I was thinking of getting one just to eliminate that. Any other ideas? I've seen a few posts where it became quite the nightmare with parts replacement and still not fixing anything.
Thanks for your help as always!
