Well this thread showed up just in time. Sorry to sound like a know-nothing noob, but I have been lurking for quite a while here, just gathering all the great information that everyone posts regarding their mods and upgrades. This is "truck appreciation" month for me, and some of the mods I've been looking at here will make it onto my truck soon. My 2005 QC just developed the power steering fluid leak a few weeks ago and I thought it might be the pump, but after reading about leak problems with the lines, I decided to upgrade to the braided lines. I ordered them from Tony at JTS on Wednesday, so thanks to you, good sir. (And look forward to more business from me - great products) Thought they might be here today, but not arrived yet. Soooo...if anyone can offer any hints - I copied some of the hints in this thread already, regarding tools needed - I would appreciate it. Likewise, anything I discover as helpful in anything I do, I will post input. BTW, the local dealer - Corona, California, quoted me $332.00 for the pump, so if necessary, not too bad of a hit. Thanks in advance, hope you all have a great holiday.
