Power Steering Pump Problem....
How much trouble is it to change the power steering pump on a '88 4+3. I just bought one with 20k miles on her. I noticed the pump whines slightly whenever turning while I am going down the road. It doesn't leak a drop and was full when I checked it. The car has set for over 2 years.................thanks

It takes about 5 min to solve your problem. I used the same trick for 15 years for different p.s. problems.
I used that trick when I bought my Cherokee 7 years ago, it was leaking really bad.
I used the same trick today on my 94 Vette.

First,use a turkey baster to siphon all of the old fluid out and then add new fluid.Your old fluid is probably a dark color,greyish,metallic looking color...if it is,keep flushing the old fluid out and add new fluid.
The steering racks on these cars are known to wear down and the fluid becomes a dark metallic color over time.
Also,be sure the serpentine belt isnt cracked everywhere and worn out...that can sometimes cause noise.
