yep power steer pump easy to fix pull it off and put a kit threw it make sure you put new bearing in at the same time. also make sure you put pump back together the way it came apart

its on the port side of engine at the front, is the kit hard to do or is it a pro job, and also the side of my consol gets really hot from the transfer case. is this normal, one cant put his leg againt it at 110kms.

Is there enough of the correct oil in transfer case?? and gear box??
110 is fairly fast for a truck that has its origions in the horse and cart era,

stering box is pro job unless you are very skilled and with tools, cant comment on pump but if need to ask maybe not a job for you to do
