I have to tell you engine oil cooler hoses, steering column bearing, and steering shaft should not fail in 100,000 miles. Not good service.
I agree 100%! GM has been putting bogus hoses on their trucks for over 25 years that I know of. At least it wasn't a head gasket or HPFP! :B
WNYBob: Without writing a book. The steering got hard and weird around 50K (warrantee.) Took it to a dealer and they said it was a box. They put box #1 on. Didn't fix it. I took it back about 6 months later and said fix it. They put box #2 on. Didn't fix it. I told them it was the pump. Box #3 went on. They put the wrong box on. It was clocked about 120 degrees out. I needed my truck so they let my truck go out the door clocked wrong. I told them to stop putting good boxes on my truck and replace the pump. They said "I" didn't know what I was talking about. Grrrrr..........box #4 goes on to fix the clocking issue. Box #4 is still on there to this day. Steering is still not right. I will put a new pump on when I get some time. This will fix the problem for good. :)
If the steering isn't right you should check the steering box.
