| | | | Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 34 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 34 | I have a 1955 Second Series Truck with a 1979 Camero front end. The steering box is from the 79. I have replaced the power steering pump three times as I only have power steering intermittently. It seems that the power steering works good when it is cold or on the highway. Not so good when the truck worms up and the RPM's are low. Could it be the steering box? Is the 79 Camero full power steering or is it just assist power steering? Thanks in advace for any help. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | "Not so good when the truck warms up and the RPM's are low."
rephrase that to 'when the steering system/fluid gets hot and the pump's not turning very fast' and think about what might be happening .... who did the clip?
what engine?
how does the weight of the truck compare to the weight of a Camero?
is the pump for the 6cyl model Camaro or the V8?
does it have the proper size pulley?
