Yep even when the truck goes through a deep puddle (especially on the driver side) the power steering has a blip and will stop working.

Can anyone confirm what i suspect that this is the drive belt slipping due to the water? Or any other ideas on how to prevent this or improve it?

Look lads If your referring to another thread I cant see it or find it. If this is a common problem to post I am sorry, as again I haven't seen anything on the forum thus far.

So maybe some input would be useful?

Thanks GLb8686

I will have to slap a new belt on as the one I have is second hand. I have done the penny trick previously and it stopped the whining after a water pump change. Maybe its the belt as I had thought.

Does it ever stop when dry? Mine does occasionally so i think the pump is on its way out, thus causing more resistance than normal making it easier to slip in the wet stuff

Mine doesn't cause a prob in the dry just when lots of water is a about. When my pump ****e its pants I through off the belt and it disintegrated in a million pieces and wound round everything (bit worrying round a corner doing 40mph, hence the replacement pump and second hand belt asap.
