    Question Power steering pump

    Hey all, I've isolated a squeel in my 3.5 to my power steering pump. I want to start over with fresh fluid thinking that may be the problem. I just wanted to know if there was anything I needed to watch out for before I grab the wife's turkey baster and sucked out the fluids(insert jokes here).

    Mine started out that way, but now it's all the time. At first I thought the belt was glazed, but after a real close inspection, it's the pump.

    I think you need to pull a vacuum on the system to bleed it right.

    Try Amsoil Universal ATF, very low cold pour point, should help with cold noise.
