Bad Power Steering Pump?

Here is the story:

Got a 2006 f250 with the 6.0. When I first crank my truck up everything works fine, and when Im driving down the road everything is great. But soon after I crank it when Im at idle or when Im driving at low rpm (under 1000 or so) I have no power steering and a mushy brake pedal.

Would I be correct in saying my power steering pump is going out?

Not necessarily. When was the last time you flushed the fluid? So...dirty fluid. Or it could be that air has entered the system...

Just some most common issues...


Good luck...

Is the 6.0 and 7.3 PS system the same? If so I can send you a link to a write up if you need it.
