need power steering help
2006 v10 f 250 It sat for a couple months. When I drove it made noise like power steering pump going out or belt going out. Stopped at advance auto to get them to listen. while there after turning the wheel it jerked back and all power steering gone and engine stopped. It started ok but no power steering. Changed power steering pump and still had noise, once around the block and no power steering. Any ideas ? need opinions. Does anyone know of anything that would make a power steering pump go out?

Well it could be that you got a bad replacement pump. But when the pump is noisy...that is either dirty fluid or air in the system.
If you installed a new pump, then you might have left some air in the system. I would think all FRESH fluid according to FORD Owner's Manual?

Found this vid that is pretty good. Yeah...it's for a Powerstroke, but the concept is about the same.

thanks for the reply. you are correct. i changed out the pump today at the parts store and new one works fine. i appreciate the video. when things dont make sense it just might be a defective part you just bought.
