[QUOTE="Dre L, post: 873045, member: 57218"] The new pump is for the older model tracs. I think 2002 and up have the new pump already. You may just be having issues with the pump / system. I went through the TSB out of pocket, new pump, new steering cooler, and new check valve. Assuming the dealer actually did everything, I'd say my issues are 90% gone. I'm only able to verify the pump and cooler. I had installed a new belt, but think I'm going to try the slightly shorter belt to see if the other 10% go away. You should check your steering fluid, and make sure that it is MERCON TRANSMISSION FLUID in there, not power steering fluid. I had a quick lube monkey add PS fluid, and that was when my pump really began to have issues. I changed out the fluid and that resolved the problem somewhat, but it just got worse after a while.
