Last night I was bored so I decided to hit a small trail. Its close to home and has 2 rock obstacles.
I did the trail with no trouble and no carnage.
When I got off the trail I noticed something was wrong with the steering. It felt like the power steering was out. So I get out of the vehicle and check everything out and all looks fine. The power steering was full and nothing looked bent.
I say screw it maybe I was smoking crack and it just felt hard turning out of the trail or it was still engaged in 4X. Checked the 4X status and turned the wheel and everything was fine again. I did a couple laps on the dirt road and began to head home. As I was pulling into the gas station and the power steering goes out again and its a hell of a hard time to turn. Then the power steering comes back out of the blue as I turned around and went home. The power steering went on and off like that 3-4 times on the 15 mile drive home. Mostly when I would be slowing down or turning into a driveway. It never did it at speed. What is the deal and has anyone had anything like this before? Im running 33's and I have inspected the entire system for leaks checked the fluid and eye balled the tie rod and drag link. It the power steering pump going out?
