Description of the problem	The power steering on my truck has gone out twice in the last week. The dealer replaced the p. S. Hoses with newly designed (crimped end in place of hose clamps) ones. This worked fine for a couple of days. As i left work on the 30th, the front seal on the rack blew, and i almost hit other parked cars do to a lack of steering. It has been very cold here for the past few days, don't know what affect this could have on it. The dealer will fix to the tune of $600. 00 plus. The dealer told me that this was the second truck this week with this same problem to come into their service dept.
