Silverado 2500 4WD 8-cyl

  • 16,500 miles
When making a turn at low speed, the power steering goes off. It is then almost impossible to turn. It did this several times. I took it to a dealer, and they replaced the power steering pump. They said it was putting out 1150 psi and it should be 1700-1800 psi. The problem came back the next day. I will take back to dealer.

Silverado 2500 8-cyl Diesel

  • 60,100 miles
This has occurred twice now. Going at slow speed, such as 5 to 10 mph making a turn and the steering goes out making the truck difficult to turn. It is like the ignition switches off and then 5 to 10 seconds later the switch comes back on. Very scary when this occurs!
