For some reason, around 2000 rpms to about 3000, i get a whining noise coming from what seems to be the power steering, however i just flushed it out, and put in the good stuff. It went away for less than a week, and now it is back just as bad.
Any ideas what it might be? Thanks! BTW, its a '98 3.9L, with only light mods.

I get a whining when I hit 40mph or above. only when I accelerate, let off the gas and it stops.

you should look into replacing the power steering pump. How ever, its pricey from the stealer ship, around $450 or so.

You can get a Napa power steering pump for around $80. And if you can find some one to put it on for you, you will save a lot.

Other then that, a flush is the only short curable thing for it

Just outta curiosity...what's the relation between Sicminds0088 and sicminds? Obviously not the same person, but you both have the same domain in your email so you probably know each other or something? Just wondering...

sounds good to me! the 6 still keeps up with the 318 tho. Once my bro get back the mods i sold off of it(before i knew he was buying it), that and some new rear tires. He will beat the 318.

Keep in mind tho 318, 4x4 6" lift 33X12.5's 3.92's. Truck came with a few mods already, and the v6 still hangs.

On my newer truck i got K&N intake, Mopar pcm, relocated IAT into the K&N tube, MSD 6a/blaster ss/8.5mm/timing control. Also have no 3rd cat, with o2 simms. I think this truck could run low 16's
