My 2k 4.7 4x4 Dak was low on powersteering fluid the other day. I
checked when I noticed that the steering had that gritty feeling when
the fluid is low. No squealing though.
Me thinks having to fill the powersteering reservoir on a truck with
3000 miles is not right. So I'll address when I take it in for service.

Sean,I haven't had any trouble with my ps pump,although my fluid is a
hair
low as of this morning.It is low because I have wiped it off the little
dipstick so much.I think I am going to try my exhaust next week,if I get
my
hands on the tips I want! I can't believe you let other people drive your
truck!

Anyone had any trouble with their power steering pumps? Whenever i
uhhh...
ahem... do dougnuts in certain empty golf course parking lots or rev
the
engine too much, i lose fluid via a leak in the power steering pump
(according to my dealership). That in turn makes the pump whine like
crazy
when i turn or completely shut off. (which is not fun, even in one of the
lightest dakotas...)
