Noisy power steering pump?
Does anyone else have a noisy power steering pump now that the cold weather has set in?

The one in my Lumina is a bit noisey, even if the fluid is full. Something about the cold I guess.

Fluid level is fine. It only does it in the cold. Did it last year too. Weird isn't it?

Mine did it in the winter. It's common amongst GM pumps. My friend has the same thing in his GTP and my dads lumina also wined. My friend with the GTP talked to someone about it and he was the one who said its common.

Ive never heard problems with GM pumps. Like the saying goes "You know your a mustang owner when you can hear your power steering pump over your E303 cam & 3" flowmaster exhaust."
