I remember Rahal’s coach with a Cat engine had a steering issue. It turned out to be the pump spline and drive gear became discoupled. I believe the spline was not engaged far enough into the drive gear to support the horsepower requirement and eventually wiped the splines off of the pump shaft.
The pump is easily removed for inspection, no hydraulic connections are disconnected.
