Found problem with P30 steering&brakes Hershel 1-26-09  
I have a 92 Winnebago with a P30 chevy chassis.After replacing the power steering pump 2 times and acuator and pouring about 4 gallons of power steering fluid into the power steering reserve tank I finally figured out what the problem was and it was a simple fix.I noticed that the dip stick had stamped on it just under the lid these words and a measurment line that said adjust park brake cable. I found out after time the cable will stretch and cause the fluid to rise in the reserve tank and eventualy cause it to overflow out of the tank unles you adjust the cable so the acuator don't push the fluid up and out of the reserve tank then whene you put it in drive it pulls too much fluid from the reserve tank causing the steering pump to pull air into the system.

I am having the same problem and mech is wanting to start replacing these items. I did try to explain about the parking brake and the he said it is stuck and that is is due to one of the parts. Can you explain how to adjust the parking brake? Also I have a problem with pulling to the left when I apply the brake while driving is this the same problem or is it a bad line?
Please help I am in a small town in arkansas and limited help.

Katherine you may have a problem with the right front brake system if the rig pulls to the left. I would pull the front right wheel a inspect the pads and rotor also look for any leaks of brake fluid.Also if the rig is a few years old sometimes the hose will close off inside and cause problems on the P30 chassis.Usually the hose problem will cause them to start dragging and heat up a may even lock up front brakes.Had to change mine a few years ago for that reason. Good Luck Mike

P30 NO POWER ANTHONY 4-20-09  
I have just purchased a 1996 Chevy P30 truck with a 6.5 Diesel.
The Truck has 130,000 miles on her, she starts fine, runs well, no smoke, and no blow back. A little oily around the seals, but no leaks.
As I was driving it home on the highway it ran fine until the mountainous roads in W. Virginia and Pennsylvania. Thats when she started to act up.
When going up an incline I could not get any power out of the motor. At times the temperature would slightly elevate but never redline. The oil pressure never went above 40psi, even at high RPM's. (At idle its about 15-25psi) Its an analog gauge, and not a very accurate one, but that's what it looks like to me, to the best of my knowledge.
The transmission would start winding out, to try to make it up the hill. In some cases I went from doing 65mph and slowed down to 35-40mph, uphill full throttle. No power.

Any suggestions or ideas what my problem might be???

thanks

Hi Anthony
Your problem most likely is your fuel fiter is nearly stoped up with water and sludge.Replace the fuel filter with a new one and make sure you fill the new filter with clean diesel fuel before you put it on or it will not start.
Good luck from Hershel
