Just replaced the Power Steering Pump and reservoir on My 94 F150 4.9 with a remanufactured piece from Advanced Auto.
Prior to the replacement the part was squealing bad, now it squeals but not nearly as bad. I keep putting fluid in and nothing changes
No leaks from the part itself, a little bit from underneath, so I am stumped. I need to get this truck running. So any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The problem is the Truck still has the that low fluid power steering squeal even though The new pump is full. I turn the wheels from lock to lock and I still get the squealing
If there aren't any more air bubbles indicating that the system has been bled then I would say it is just junk reman parts. I got 3 pumps from Napa and still wasn't not happy. The first one was louder than the one I was replacing, the second didn't pump any fluid and the third was still noisy but they wouldn't warranty it again.
I think it was subford that mentioned this fluid and I tried it. turkey baster the old stuff and add that fluid. After 50 miles or so do it again. Mine quieted down a lot. I ordered it from Amazon.
I would get a Saginaw pump from an E-Series van, bolt on upgrade, and much better pump. All you have to do is have a custom hose made, and get a longer belt.

That is the fluid Ford used for power steering - Type F ATF. Nothing special about his fluid recommendation.

I got the same recommendation for a manual transmission on a different vehicle. The explanation was that there were no friction modifiers in the Type F fluid. I don't know if that is ALL type F fluid or just a specific brand of Type F fluid. In that case the Type F was also rated GL4.

It would depend on the transmission. My M5OD-R2 calls for MERCON. All type F should be the same or it wouldn't meet the specification to be called that.

Type F is a high-friction fluid that does not use friction modifiers. That allows the shifting clutches to lock up or engage quickly. Mobile one, castrol. motor craft and others make Type F. I think you are right that the spec would be for F to be High Friction. Only transmissions that specify type F should use type F.
