Third power Steering pump
Any ideas why I am having to replace my power steering pump for the third time in less than a year and half. Its on a 2003 tacoma double cab trd with 32" tires completely stock suspension .

I currently do not have cooler on ther, but i think I am definantely going to put one on this go round. Fluid looks nasty. I flushed resevoir out good on last instal I bleed fluid out of rack and pinion as best I could. Thanks for reply !!

Its a self bleeding system. You put fluid in until it stops cavitating (nasty noise) stops then fill to "hot" marking on dipstick. Turn wheel stop to stop a couple of times to be sure you got all the air out, and its GTG.
I just did one, replaced the steering box which leaked like a sieve and had a pinhole leak in the pressure hose to boot. ran out of fluid many a time, and still works fine YMMV.
