can i run my truck without power steering and do no additional damage to the pump if i take the belt off? i know i will have difficulty steering and i don't mind that...i just don't want to break anything else. Thanks

 

You can if the belt doesn't run anything else. What year and engine?

 

1987...not sure of the engine...the only other thing the belt turns is the fan...i can just get a smaller belt to run the fan??

 

unfortunatly, the problem is not with the power steering pump...the leak is comming from the pinion (i think). is there a seal that i can replace or do i have to replace the whole steering system?
Thanks to anyone who can help

 

You mean the steering box? They make a kit that has a seal and a correction seal if the shaft is worn.
