Well it hasn't ran in 23 days, but I started it and had no issues EXCEPT it feels like I'm driving a dam tank. I would say it's the power steering, but that was all just replaced with brand new OEM. It gets slightly better when driven for awhile. Last winter it wasn't this harsh, so I'm thinking it's just the crazy low temp? Not really a problem, but if I wanted to drive a tank I would have gone 19 Kilo. Thoughts appreciated.

Might need to do a redneck reset.

Sounds like it needs to be flogged HARD on the autobahn...

Do you get a whine too that goes up and down with engine revs. If so, it could be the power steering fluid level. Mine started to whine as the temps got lower, then would get better as things warmed up. I started reading around, someone noted to check the level, and go above the letters on MAX. Check all the fittings too. If it was all recently replaced, a loose fitting could be allowing air into the system.

Dang I didn't think of that. That could actually be it. Thanks
