Re: heavy power steering
I haven't noticed a heavy feeling in my '90 k1500, but I can't compare to anything newer than my '93 toy, I just don't drive newer vehicles. I recently had an issue with the toy where the steering fluid was getting low, but no leaks. It turns out it was getting sucked into the intake. There is a pressure switch that when the power steering starts to work, the fluid pressure change opens a valve. The valve introduces a vacuum leak causing the engine to rev up a few rpm, providing more power for steering. The switch was later changed to electronic. I don't know if our Chevy trucks have a similar system? If so, and if it wasn't working, that could cause a heavy feeling in the steering...
