I hate this truck with the fire of a thousand suns. If I wasn't trapped in this deal, I would load it with dynamite and drive it off a cliff.

i have read that this problem has happened to a few people. someone spent 1500 fixing it. I bought the pump for 50$, bought a case of beer, went to a buddies house and fixed it in a few hours

Everything fell apart after and during a lengthy road trip. The steering pump was very tough to deal with!
