Power Steering flush 05' F250 V10

Wondering if you can pull the lines on the cooler to flush the power steering. If so which one of the lines to pull off. Thanks

Hey there Buzter. Power steering flushes have been discussed many times in the 6.8L forum. The "search this forum" is your friend. See if anyone has tried it that way, but the preferable way is from the reservoir. For starters: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ump-flush.html

I have used the search option, but have not seen anyone posting on the 05' if you could flush it with the cooler lines. I have the bumper off to get powder coated and figured that would be an easy way to do it..or maybe not, my reason for asking

I just did mine this weekend. I took the return line off of the resevoir and extended the line into a bucket. Then I filled the resevoir and had the wife start the car as I poured fresh fluid in the resevoir until in came out totally clean into the bucket. Hooked the return line back up, topped off the fluid and done. About 30 minutes total. Feels alot better when pulling into a parking space with 35's.
