I have had a simular problem with My 79 J20 in years past and when it
did it the belt "talked" Now it does it some because steering box is
worn out (or leaking internally) as pumpis still good. Just another
thing on the list of things to do when I restore it one day. If he had
access to a gauge he could pressure test the pump to see it it is
weak. GM power steering units used on that year Jeep are usuually
pretty reliable but they can wear out.

I will try the dressing, to confirm. I have no objection to replacing
the belts, as it is probably time, but would like to do the job on my
schedule, not the belts.

If you replace belts get a "cogged" belt design to replace it. They
tend to grip better and run cooler too.
