steering/brake issues
 

(also posted in 98.5- 2002)
ok so i just bought my 01 cummins auto.. i know this is probably an old topic but its all new to me so here goes...

i understand the p/s and brake system works together somehow (understanding more about this day by day) but im having some problems. my power steering seams like it barely works unless i am going over 10 mph for instance three point turns in my little street are a workout! also after about 40 mph the "abs" and "brake" lights come on on the dash. now i understand this is a common issue with the speed sensors failing on the rear diff but my sensor is brand new. also when applying brakes normally at a dead stop you can feel them pulsing or ticking under your foot as you hold the pedal down.

trouble shooting...

i have a new power steering pump and steering box and almost all other front end components as well as all new brake lines

i have bigger tires .. but not big enough to have the trucks power steering not be able to move them

lights on on dash .. new speed sensor (abs sensor) on rear diff .. could it be bad right out of the package ? or just something else i am missing ?

and the pulsing of brake pedal .....

also if anyone can throw in a little more information as to how exactly brakes and power steering work together that would be much appreciated

thanks alot,
bert
