I'M LOST AND I KNOW AT LEAST 15 OTHER TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE .

WHEN EVER IT RAINS I CAN'T DRIVE AS WATER SPLASHES UP UNDER THE TRUCK FROM THE ROAD MY CHECK GAGE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN STEERING GETS STIFF AND YOU CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL . I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO A GARAGE AND ONCE IT SAT INSIDE OUT OF THE RAIN AND DRYER OUT THE WHEEL WAS ABLE TO TURN. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS AS I COULDN'T STEER AND IN 2 CASES I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY AS I COULDN'T TURN AROUND THE BEND IN THE ROAD .
