I went through 3 pumps from the same place. sometimes you can just get a bad batch. Return it and get another one. The rebuilt units are usually total garbage.

Cool

Werd. Our PS pumps are a bit too complicated for rebuilders to get right.



Make sure the belt is still on it, and not very loose. A lot fo times, people changing the PS belt leave it way to slack because they don't realize ours have two places to adjust the mount (tension) at.
