Hi fellow GMCers! New member here. I bought a 78 Royale from an estate auction in MN back in September and drove it to FL (after some kind help from Jon Roche and other MN GMCers). After a couple months at Sirum GMC for tuning, new fridge and a long punchlist, we took our first trip this weekend (to a FL state park). Trip was great, she did really well and was very comfortable.
Now my question: toward the end of the return trip I started to hear that typical hissing sound from the power steering and a bit of kicking when turning. I know these are signs that I need a new or rebuilt steering box. However, how urgently do I need to address that? Do the symptoms mean that the power steering will die very soon or do I have some time?
Also, is it possible to drive the coach with a busted steering pump in an emergency or does the steering get so heavy it’s not possible?
Thanks!
Flavio
