Do you know if there is an easy way to test the steering pump to see if it needs to be replaced? I've had a couple OH **** moments when i stabbed the brakes and didn't think i would stop. Wondering if that might be my problem.

Every H2 and GM truck brand new had/have **** powersteering pumps. If you have any steering wheel resistance in parking lot manuevers (no throttle, hard turns of the wheel to get in/out of parking spot/space) GM wont do **** about it. If you want to fit it yourself, call AGR and have them build you a pump. It makes driving so much more pleasant. I can throw my steering wheel and easily turn my 37" toyos on hot pavement. It gave my back, atleast feels like I got about 20% boost in braking power. My bad ass pump - chromoly shaft, needle bearings and every other upgrade there is ran under $400. I still say I wish that was the 1st mod I did on my truck.
