Real world video. Thank you. So, I guess...after watching this and learning from your video... I guess to avoid the headache, stress and frustration, I would drain all of the power steering fluid first.

The best maintenance, is preventative maintenance Jimmy. Keep doing what you're doing. Nothing wrong with keeping your truck in good shape. Those who say something about you replacing old parts, are those you will pass on the side of the road.

Not much room to work but you got it done. Did my 98 yrs ago. One thing i did learn the hard way,was to never really wrench down hard on those types of fittings with the o-ring. Great looking suburban though.

Another lesson learned. Should have replaced those lines when you changed the steering box. The return line is low pressure so Elite line NOT needed. Whenever I plan a job, I look at everything else I have to remove to get at it. If there is a consumable item removed, unless it is near new, I change it. Example: Anyone who changes front CV axles and doesn't change the diff seals, will be doing the job again soon kind of problem. When you are working on your own stuff, it's OK too save yourself from that. Pad your own parts bill so that later you won't be charging yourself double labor.

Lines didn't look bad; just the o rings to the gearbox were leaking I replaced the infamous Honda Acura o rings since the old ones are prone to dry rot after so many heat cycles and just age Sucking air/ making noise and will damage the pump if left unchecked

I like the preventative maintenance plan over the parts failure plan. I do the same thing with my 02 Suburban. My recent work was a deep dive in the dash replacing heater core and the dryer with associated valve controls. The heater divert-er valve failed but I wasn't going into the dash without replacing everything, it was a lot of work.

I had to replace the power stearing lines on my 90 k2500. Well, I'm no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. I tinker. I figure out how things work. With that said, i had no idea my truck had like 8 feet of steering line running in the frame to cool the steering fluid lol. I just cut them off and replaced with regular length lines. Ive read to not do that as it could overheat the pump. Been over a year and about 20,000 miles later, the ole girl still turns mint. I now have to replace the pitman and idler arms. Other than that the truck goes mint. Got it as a "if you can get it running, you can have it" deal.

Great Video! Love the way you get up close and personal to the item being removed or worked on to get the best view possible. I recently replaced the rack and pinion on my 2000 silverado, which was in complete pieces and well over due for replacement. Took her on a test drive. Everything was cherry until i noticed it still had leaking coming from the rack, leaking is coming downwords towards the fittings so i will be replacing these lines as well im sure there is a pinch in there causing this issue.

One got fixed, showed the next parts worn, and so on. Gear box, pump, tierods, and idler last which was the real problem no figure. Btw i ended doing the gear box 10x pump 3x. Get a redhead from the start, +new napa pump, no duralast/cardone with steering stuff!!!

Okay, my two cents... I'm not understanding the title of your video... Nothing wrong with replacing old with new, but WHY would you plan on spilling nothing? I count on draining it, instead of not wanting to make a mess... Aside from getting rid of possible contaminated fluid, I do away with the stress of it all by simply putting a drain pan underneath and let it drain. At this point in my life, the less stress, the better. Nice truck!

Those yellow caps are to place in the pump or the gear if you are not putting a line in it right away to keep junk out of it. Also don’t worry about loosing fluid when replacing lines, you really are supposed to flush the pump and gear when you service them like replacing the lines so loosing old fluid is perfectly acceptable and normally you would undo the side of the return line where it just has a hose clamp and direct the flow into a catch pan while adding new fluid with it running and when it comes out perfectly clean new fluid then reattach the hose and hose clamp top off the fluid to the correct level and then use some brake clean or carb cleaner to hose off any mess

A video about right and wrong hoses would be good also. I suspect many people use incorrect hoses, especially when desperate and the parts people have nothing in stock etc.. They told me that "fuel hose" would be fine for Power Steering, but I really do have doubts. A genuine PS main hose, at 290mm (11/half inch), is $60-90. Yet the fuel hose is $20 a metre. That alone makes me suspicious.
@2bNot
@2bNot 7 ай бұрын
So at $20 per metre, I could buy 3 metres of fuel hose, for the same price as only 290mm of PS hose. It's a straight piece. Nothing fancy. So I can get 33 times the length, if I use the WRONG hose. As a mechanic I would then get a lot of return business after a year or two or three. Maybe the entire power steering might then need a rebuild ? Maybe I can run a wrecking yard on the side ?
@2bNot
@2bNot 7 ай бұрын
Comment disappeared due to the stupid ads. People who encourage these pathetic ads are ruining it for everyone else. Anyway, as I was trying to say. Wrong hose is 33 times cheaper. An incentive for dodgy mechanics everywhere.

I have the same reasoning for replacing things before they go bad, it used to be that many aftermarket parts were better quality than OEM, but now that most parts are made in China, most are garbage like most everything made in China.

Replaced the power steering pressure line now two times. Replaced the first time as preventative maintenance. OEM line wasn’t leaking. 1st replacement leaked , tried a new oring still leaked. Then replaced again with the same line in this video and it’s leaking again. Leaks from the back of the pump pressure fitting. It’s going to stay that way until the LS swap. Lol

Like they said if ain't broke don't replace it. Sweating included. Yes your driving a 30 year old truck. Understood. I am at 250K 04 Denali all original fluids including coolant just topping off. To late to change fluids. Yes i got the label beneath vehicle lifetime fluid sticker. Its to late now high mileage so i will stick with my fluid which transmission and differential been use to lol. Not gonna risk changing fluids. Yes its been dtiven 16 hours straight and 16hrs back 10 minute stops for gas/restroom breaks plenty of times 2000 miles round trip every year with steep climbs and and hot weather so Yukon is being tested and puts a smile on my face Vortec power. GMC/Chevrolet are built tough. Yes i do wrench on my Japanese and German cars but American simple oil changes and sensor and O2 bank sensor of course Castrol oil as my choice for these trucks/SUV.
