Power steering upgrade for 2500?

[jsoltren]

The steering on my NNBS Yukon XL 2500 is super heavy. Not that I think anything is broken. Just, driving it around town, turning in and out of driveways and parking spaces, feels like it takes a massive amount of force. Especially compared to my NBS Denali.

Has anyone here updated the power steering pump or done something else on their 2500 trucks to make steering a bit lighter?

My wife hates driving the thing because it's so laborious.

That doesn't sound right to me, should be fairly easy.

Agree with James. I can spin my 2500's wheel lock to lock with my index finger. Something's not right with your system.

Welp, guess I'll get a mechanic friend to check it out. Thanks.

Bet your either low on fluid or pump is going south.

in my tahoe if you had just pressed the brake pedal and go to turn the wheel (think getting ready to back into a parking space) the steering will be super heavy. On mine you have to give it a second in between applying the brakes and turning the wheel- I think because of the hydroboost system. Then again the pump and hydroboost have 220,000 on them so maybe that has something to do with it.
