ve problems

ok I was reading on here and came across where it said that the ip pump will have a low idle when it starts to get worn out and only when it is hot well that was a bummer to me because mine is doing this and when i push on the brakes it sometimes will die then it will crank and crank over for awhile then it will start not the usual rolls over once or twice and it is started. So am i looking at a rebuild shortly or what?

Well if your truck is dying when you apply your brakes, then you might have an issue with your Vacuum/power steering set-up. But if the idle is really low then you could potentially cause the motor to die when the load on the power steering/vacuum pump is too great.

Do you have any leaks from your IP? And how low is your idle?

Could you fill out your signature, about your truck, so we can see what you have, and how it's optioned. That can aid us too in trying to diagnose problems as well.

Does your truck idle higher when it's first fired up, then slowly loose RPM as it gets warmer?
