Hydro-boost not working

[Martimus]

82 K30 long bed. Sometimes my steering works just fine, and sometimes I cant hardly turn the steering wheel, seems like I get no assist from the hydro-boost. It's full, belt is good and not slipping. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks in advance.

Item in common is pump. That's where I would start. Flush out old oil if discolored or burnt.

The pump should supply hydraulic pressure to the brake unit. There's an accumulator (round can) on the unit that retains pressure for a few stops should the pump quit/belt slip/engine die. I'd flush the p/s fluid & make certain the belt is tight before I started replacing pumps & boosters tho.

I had the same problem and replaced the hydroboost and pump.
