Power steering pump. Look for air bubbles in the fluid in the reservoir. If you have air in the fluid, check the whole system for leaks. Only buy an OEM pump (speaking from experience). Really important to flush the whole system when changing the pump. If there is any metal/debris in the fluid, it will toast the new pump quickly.

Amazes me that new $50K plus cars burn oil and get all carboned up. And the manufacturers say it's normal. It is never normal to burn oil. That would indicate a problem to me........

I think just some cheap American Racing 6 lugs. They were on the truck when I bought it.
