1985 K5 4X4. Hard to steer in tight spots and making turns. I have to pull hard just to make turns. It has power steering, resorvoir is full, it doesn't make any noise when I steer. It's just a pain in the *** to drive a basically powerless-steering vehicle. Comments, suggestions, offers to buy are welcome!!!

 

does the steering wheel only move like 1" at a time. kind of like the pump is cycling?

 

Yup...

 

mine does the same thing. check the bolts that hold the pump on. i think there is 3. i know on mine the housing is cracked on the pump. if they are all tight , i would look for a bigger pump from a 3/4 or 1 ton. epecially if you are running bigger tires.

 

I'm running 33's on it right now. Would a bigger pump from a 3/4 or 1 ton match to mine?? Thanks for your help!!!

 

i don't know for sure. chevy did a good job of keeping stuff close or the same back in the 80s. might be worth a trip to the junkyard just to see. you always come home with more than you planned too.

 

Pick-N-Pull, here I come...AGAIN!!!

 

hey you said pick n pull are you in california?if you are i know a great place to pick up parts for old blazers in fremont

 

i found the problem on mine yesterday. the belt is loose on the pump. check yours . make sure it is tight. mine steers like a million times better

 

Yup, I live in Sac. There's a PNP in Rancho Cordova, Antelope, Rocklin and South Sac. I hear the one in Fairfield has a boatload of Blazers. I'm gonna check that one out next...

Sometimes it's the littlest things that screws everything up!!! I'm gonna check that out tomorrow...Gracias!!!
