So I picked up my M1097R1 yesterday from IP, I am now going through all the issues I have found so far. When I received it all the belts were missing, the long top PS bracket bolt was missing, the rest were loose as was the alternator mount bolts, quick disconnect at the fan hub was off. So I assume that it may have been in the process of changing out the PS pump before it was turned in or perhaps a belt change out, of course this is only a guess, the PS pump was full. So to start from scratch I replaced all 4 belts, replaced the missing bolt and re connected the fan hub fitting, topped off the PS pump. Started the truck, no whine from the pump but when you press the brake is vibrates up and down and the steering feels choppy/vibrates when you try and turn although not too bad it still turns fairly easy but it's not normal. Hoping to get some ideas, thanks.
