Shes at it again!
Well about 4 days after my HPOP replacement, the ol Ford is at it again. Apparently, one of my powersteering lines has been rubbing on the top of my driverside front shock mount. It let loose in a giant black plume of black smoke and grinding gears as I was pulling into the corner store. Limped her home and inspected it. From what I see, its not a terribly expensive hose and shouldn't be too terrible to replace. One thing after the other man!https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/i...es/oval-03.gif

well, where to start. First, I couldn't believe that none of the parts listed in general autoparts stores didn't look anything like the part I had taken off. But then I got to thinking, this is the first year of the 6.0, and they changed mid year. Ive had vehicle before that had more than one years parts in it, including my ford trucks from the 80s and 90s. So I gave it a shot. And apparently, I have the hydraboost and steering knuckle system that was used with the 7.3diesels. But long story short I found it. What a pain. But ill get it on and get her fixed in the morning.
