Mytruck is an old 2004 plow truck that is rusty. Driven maybe 2K miles a year.
Backing into my driveway yesterday I felt something happen in the power sterring. Letig the smoke subside, I found the pressure sensor on the high preassure ower sterring hose had let loose. When cold, this thing is really hard to turn and it sounds like the pump is starving for oil (it's not).
I'll be replacing the line and trying to flush the old oil, but is it possible that the pressure is to high? A restriction somewhere in the rack or something?
Can I pressure test this, or is there a common failure point to look at?
