After I turn the wheel real hard the power steering box whines real loud for a few miles. I checked the fluid and it looks clean and full. What else could be wrong. Oh and I have been voided (powertrain only) at the dealer for my modifications.

If you can't get the dealer to replace the pump then try Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak ( AutoZone has it ), this stuff worked great for me.

Good luck,

Its normal when cold, but an underdrive pully ( such as the ASP, or LG for the LT1 cars) will slow the pump down- extending the life of it.

If it does it all the time, its usually a sign that it will die eventually. Ive gone through 5 of them Road Racing my car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I would have to agree with dark age. It sound like
the power steering pump. I had to replace mine in June because it whinned all the time. If you can't get the origanl dealer to take car of you, go to a diffrent one. This is not affected with the parts you have on your car!

...join the club ..mine whines bad too! ...Lucas helped for about 2 months ...it is not a cure...

what mods voided your warranty?

I had to take it to them to replace a valve spring and thats what voided the powertrain. I don't think they know exactly what was done to the car but they know it has been modified. The whine only comes on when I turn the wheel hard and fast, under normal driving and turning its silent.
I have a video of it here.
