Got the car back Friday! Turns out it ended up needing a new power steering pump and rack. Something went awry and material circulated destroying both parts of the power steering system.
Parts where overnighted from MI and was very pleased with the dealership.
After looking at what GM is passing off as a power steering cooler I noticed its mounted flat to the cars profile and what I would think is out of the air path to properly cool it. If that wasn’t bad enough it’s a cheesy looking 2 pass cooler mounted behind the vehicles large metal bumper support.
Did GM really think this was going to properly the power steering? I'm considering an aftermarket unit to better suit my driving style and upcoming track day.
When I drove the loaner V at the track during a 20 minute session the power steering fluid was boiling over and the power steering was operating intermittently.
