Thanks to all who gave advice on the power steering pump whine problem with a
customer's 84 Vanagon.  Apparantly it was the power steering hose that had
been made up by the local hydraulics shop that was causing the problem.  I
replaced it with the larger diameter standard hose (used) and it is quiet at
last.  I have gotten hydraulic hoses made up before without this problem, but
the shop I go to uses the larger diameter hose for the high side and smaller
hose for the low side.  I have no idea who made this hose up but they
apparently didn't know what they were doing.
I really appreciate the List and all the help that I have gotten from it.

I think the best advice I can give anyone on this List is never be afraid to
ask for help or advice if you need it.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
