Thrasher88 Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Power steering went out on my 2018 Silverado, truck has 82k miles and has never had a level or anything, truck made a bunch of crunchin and grinding noise before it completely stopped working I was wondering if anyone has changed the steering rack out themselves, it looks like it all comes together and how big of a job it is today without a lift.
rlcole321 Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Yeah, it is an electric assist (you must have figured that out when there was no place to poor in some PS fluid), changing out would be a little harder without a lift, but doable. The issue is the steering angle sensor will have to be reset, which unless you have a $2,000 scanner, you'll still have to have a dealer (or a competent shop) do that.
Thrasher88 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Posted March 31, 2021 I actually knew truck was electric power steering but when the noise started I thought it was a ball joint and it just kept getting worse really quick and completely went out last night, I think I’m gonna try to do it myself and I’ll take it to dealer to have module programmed.
