    Hi, I have a 2020 Tundra, without warranty as this car is in Dubai and it is unofficially sold here without warranty.

    See the 2 pictures, and I had to top of the resevoir from almost empty about a week ago, if I had not noticed for another 10 days maybe more, I would heard the pump complaining.

    My tundra is lifted with 2.5" lift Ironman, and this is what coupled with full steering lock, which I need to do as I camp in some spots that require full lock to get back out again.

    I have ordered AT-205 as maybe a way to slow it down, and just wait for total failure, or pooling on the ground. Anyone try a stop leak on these steering racks, with or without success?

    My worry is that if I change the rack, then the issue will return as a lifted truck is the cause, unless I get rid of the lift which is not an option.

    Is your truck part of the recalled trucks that require rack replacement due to improperly machined parts? I know you have no warranty but can you run your VIN on toyota.com/owners and see if that recall exists for your truck? If your truck falls under this you may just need a new rack and you'll be in the clear.
    Though upon refreshing myself on this issue it seems like this recall may only exist on the 2021 model trucks. May be worth a look though.

    It's not part of the recall.
