Hi,
I bought 3 months ago my 2005 RC, 35,000 miles. Very good shape. But everytime I race it in highway, steering fluid leaks. I have replaced the hoses for braided and it keeps leaking after 10-15 min. of racing. I am tired of this. It has been fixed 5 times. I just run it and leaks again. The steering pump used to make a noise like it needed fluid, even tough it was on top.
I ordered a new steering pump from rockauto and they sent me a wrong part (I paid for the part, expensive shipping to Mx and import duties...)
Most of the time in these 3 months, my truck has been down, so I took it to the stealership here in Mexico.
They said it needs new hoses, new steering pump, new fluid deposit and a new fan, as it has been damaged...
Total cost: $50,000 mxn (around $3k usd)...
I am taking it out of the stealership.
Any suggestions??? I love the truck, but I am getting tired of this and would not like to get rid of it. Everything else is in great shape.
I was thinking on mayben doing a new steering pump and electric fan. Is there a way to do this?
thanks
Victor.
