Just used your video tutorial to swap out my PS pump. I'm glad this video clearly demonstrated how much better it is to leave the alternator and accessory bracket attached to the engine. No need to fumble around with removing those additional parts.

[@rgonzales9382]

Wish I would of seen this video a couple weeks ago when I replaced my pump on my 2001 Chevy. Didn’t realize I could leave the pressure line on when pulling the pump out. I also made a few other mistakes along the way. I have to take it all apart again, I didn’t bleed it properly now I got air in my pressure line and it’s causing the pressure line to vibrate when turning the wheel. Great video, I appreciate you taking the time to show this job.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

[@Cashisking2me]

Great video! I was wondering though, what is the reason that the power steering cooler must be replaced?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@JamesOnamaMartinSr Thanks! The metal shavings from the old pump get trapped in the oil cooler then they will destroy the new pump!

Does this truck have a power steering control valve? If so, where? My PS works but just turning the wheel in the driveway makes it shake and vibrate. Heard it might be this valve.

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I changed the pump and it fixed my problem. My steering was vibrating as soon as I would turn the wheel, it shook the whole truck. Never heard of a power steering pump doing that before. But why should I change the cooler? I appreciate the info. But changing the rack and pump both is a hard job!

@K diagnostics I just completed this job on my 2011 Suburban. I changed the o-ring on the high pressure line and it is pouring fluid from the connection. I took it back loose and checked and rechecked. Put it all back together and it still pours fluid when I start the car. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Brandon Denson make sure the high pressure fitting on the line is good, or you can replace the line and see what happens!!

@BDlinemanSims Thanks!

[@edadpops1709]

Did you say the cooler should be changed out along with the pump? Why

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Edad Pops Because when the pump fails the metal shavings from the bad pump will get in the cooler and if you don't replace it those metal shavings will flow back in the new pump which will shorten the life of the new one!

[@havencooper9389]

What if you replace the Cooler, do you need to replace the pump? The leak was from the cooler, no evidence of leaks from the pump.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@havencooper9389 you don't need to replace the pump when the cooler is leaking!
