M818 power steering acting up

[Blythewoodjoe]

Howdy,

My M818 is loosing the power steering at times. It is working then not working. It has fluid. Is the pump getting ready to go out? Never had anything do this before. Usually things fail or work.

Thanks for any help. Joe

It was the belts. Can't believe I missed that. Too simple I guess. Thanks for the help.
