On my 04 Avalanche. I got this truck on trade from my son, he wanted my Hemi powered Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. It turn hard to the left SOMETIMES. others it is fine. I had a first thought of steering box, then when I got it to the shop and the front in the air it turned freely both ways running or not so then I thought pressure valve stuck in the pump so I put on a new one. No change I think it needs a box I have one on a parts truck so I 'll put it on I guess but it is hard for these old fat bones to get under a truck for that long now a days. Any ideas from the crowd?

That's kinda strange.
Never having had an Avalanche so I have an odd question.
Vacuum booster or hydroboost for your brakes?

I'd assume vacuum but assuming usually makes a fool of me.

I think I'd pull the old guilt trip on the young'un and get his assistance with the steering box. You gave him a cool gift by trading trucks.
