I tried this myself after getting quotes from four places ($770-$900). I worked on it for 5 hours, lots of problems along the way, I finally needed my vehicle the next day for work so I had to give in and take it to the shop. They finished it in 2 hours. Great video!!!!! I wish I had more time to do it.
Thanks to you I did it by myself this was the first real work I’ve done on a vehicle at 17 years old. My dad was going to do it but I always want to try it myself and I love hands on work. Welding Is my thing but I’m starting to like working on vehicles.
Great video - had a few bits that others left out, and no shaky-cam, which is a nice plus. One critical bit that I didn't see was bleeding the power-steering system, which is especially important in models with the hydro-boost system, which assists with braking. AGR Performance Steering has a how-to video on their site. Once everything is re-installed, they recommend turning the steering wheel a full rotation to the right, then left (5) times, then pumping the brakes to the end of pedal travel (3) times as one "full set" to begin cycling the fluid. They recommend doing this no less than 40 times to fully release any air bubbles in the line. The owner demonstrated the procedure on a full-sized pickup, and mentioned that it took a full 90 times before he was satisfied. So, about 3/4 of an hours worth of time, but it eliminates the possibility of any loss of power assist to the steering and/or brakes once the new hardware is installed. Cheers.
Done quite a bit of mechanics myself, only thing I'll go to a shop for is computer related issues but this was a great guide. You helped me out a bunch! Watched it last night and this morning, took me about 3 hours and I'm about to put the pulley back on. Wanted to leave a positive review before I finished up today 🎉
thanks, my local shop wants $1350 claiming the dealer part (all they will use) is $678, i found at local store for about $100, and your video comforts me i can handle the job in an afternoon - just need the pully puller (hope can get as loaner from parts store).
This looks like the same as my 1994 Silverado with a 350. I hope I can get that pulley removal tool today at the auto parts store. i will check the diameter of the hub first, but everything else looks the same, so it is likely the same as well. Thanks for a great instructional video, and the real camera that is steady and well run. Others on youtube use a "smart" phone, which is worse than useless, so their entire video is not worth the space. YOU do it RIGHT! thank-you sir
Hey I have a 2005 Yukon SLT 5.3L automatic with 218,000 miles. All stock equipped. Doesn't make any noise of any kind, that's abnormal. Well kept and daily driver. I drove it out on the highway for 300 miles and when I exited Interstate it was in manual steering mode...stiff to turn like it had no pump at all. And the brakes were not boosted either. It's not the belt or fluids of steering or brakes...all good. No leaks. No codes. No smells. No noises of pump failure. It only does it at low rpms when coming to stop, under 700 rpm. It works fine when above that. And the brakes are unboosted when it does it also, but work. This is the pump I assume? Remove and replace eh? Suggestions of what pump brands you had success with? I'm eyeballing the O'Reily $72 special. Thanks!
I would probably start with the pump yes, especially if it's never been replaced and 218K miles. I don't have a particular brand i'm fond of, AC delco would be top pick if price wasn't concern since that's OEM. I think I may have gotten mine from autozone or orileys. This one wasn't AC Delco, but if I have to do it again i'm getting OEM pump.
So why were you replacing the power steering pump? What symptoms were you having? A few days ago, I went out to drive my truck and it had absolutely no power steering. Pulley turning and Reservoir full. Great video by the way.
my steering was rough and it seemed to be straining way to much. Mine in particular was also leaking (thought to be a line but didn't know for sure). I don't think I showed it on the video but i recall replacing a line as well while I had it apart. I hope this helped.
Well, my puller pulled the entire shaft out of the pump as well as the pulley. Perhaps that is why I had no steering. It is going to be hell separating the shaft from the pulley at this point, I guess....
I changed the pump and put it on my old reservoir and old pulley. When it all was installed I cranked it up and tried to drive it and it's like there was no power steering at all. Why?

What problems you run into?
Genuinely not that difficult if you have the right tools.. Basic socket set and pulley remover tool

welding and mechanics go hand in hand
Very detailed hands on and verbal instructions...many many thanks

Don't need a machine

you should be able to get a loaner from parts store, glad I could help!
Pulling the piece that mounts the alt and ps pump is definitely the way to go. Good call. Haynes wants you to do it much harder. Thanks for posting!
i agree... pull the whole mount
@@lowcountrylowdown9000
Just pull the engine
@@nyladennis2419 🤣
Great video. Most detailed one I found so far. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
That was very easy to understand!

Thanks for watching, good luck with you 94'
Many thanks! I need to replace the PS pump on my Yukon 2001 soon, this video will help a lot!
Fantastic details! My son and I just completed replacement in his 1999 Z71. Thanks!
2000 chevy just went out. Thanks for the video gonna save it and use it later when I replace it thank you
It help me a lot !
Thanks brother I was able to do it my self
Thanks I did it on my 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 and everything work really good
Thank you so much, I have been looking for a video that shows how to use the tool! Great video!!!!
Thanks for the great video. Good job explaining and showing details. Thank you.
Got it done thanks to you my man!! Did struggle with a leaking line that connects to it. But other than that perfect video.
Great video
Great video, nice details with the puller, I will be doing this tomorrow...thank you!
Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful.
We appreciate you watching!!! Glad this video was helpful.
thank you !!owe you a cold beer!!
Thanks man. Great video. I'll try to get it done...
Great video...off to replace mine with your help!
Thank you, great video
Thanks for this video bud
Well done thanks for the help.

@lowcountrylowdown9000 thanks!
Awesome video thank you very much!
I did by my self
My mecanico charme to much
Good detailed video
Great video thanks. Qe appreciate it. However, you should of followed through and showed the bleeding process. To give a complete video
Great job

@@lowcountrylowdown9000 So, it might just be the line that was at fault.
@@brianseeney1364 I replaced both to be sure. I knew the pump was getting some age on it and if I was gonna jump in that far I was gonna replace both.

Great fucking video. Thanks.
Good video! Overall about how much time is required to do the job? Thanks
Should be able to knock it out in a couple hours
I have a Chevy Tahoe and my power steering pump hss as be a soleinoide on the side of my power steering pump do I need it ?
If your vehicle model is equipped with that from OEM I would keep it.
What brand of pump?
Why didn’t you show us the bleeding part that’s the hardest part
you're right, I should have. I apologize, maybe I need to make a part 2.
I changed the pump and put it on my old reservoir and old pulley. When it all was installed I cranked it up and tried to drive it and it's like there was no power steering at all. Why?
You need to bleed the system after properly filling the fluid reservoir..
@@michaelclark2766 got it done!! First time ever doing a power steering. I changed out everything. Thank you for your videos!!!
@@jeanettethompson8859 ...I wasn't videoing...I just commented on your comment...Glad you were successful...
My PS pump just started leaking today.
What if you're a hard time getting the fan off?
Trick is to loosen fan with belt in place. That always helps me
good tip!
I removed the pulley and it took my ps pump shaft with it.
WTH?
Did you use the pulley removal tool?
@@lowcountrylowdown9000
I did. I think the only thing holding the pulley on was the serpentine belt.
@@lowcountrylowdown9000 That's why I was watching your video to see if I saw something I did wrong.
