#19 of 21 gm express van power steering pump problem by evita1
Dec 29, 2009 (7:43 pm)
I have an 2005 express cargo van. At about 40,000 miles, it developed a winding noise which appears to be coming from the power steering. I was not notified to change the power steering fluid, nor is it in the owners manual. Upon investigating, I've noticed that the power steering fluid appears to have been overheating. Does anyone know of this problem and how to solve it?

The van is doing half the minimum mpg.About 7mpg. Garage says the vacuum pump is the cause and are replacing it.I am a refrigeration/air conditioning engineer but until now was not aware there was a vac pump on these vehicles.They say it controls the air conditioning and fuel system runs continuously with the engine.
Just basically, how does it control the A/C and fuel?
I imagine the fuel is made to evaporate more efficiently but the A/C has its own circulating compressor for the R134a gas used.
I am a British engineer working in Eilat.I have no experience with these very popular vehicles so I would like to learn more.

The replacement vac-pump ha improved fuel economy and the A/C flow.It also seems to have improved the auto gear changing.- « Previous
