I am not really sure myself either on power steering replacement. This pickup is probably the first vehicle I have owned in quite some time that did not have self changing power steering fluid! Seems like something like 50K is what is recommended.

^^^^^^^^^ Repeat.... Repeat..... from above.....Very Easy to do...... ^^^^^ Repeat... Repeat ONLY USE ATF Fluid....
True story: years ago my wife took our truck on a shopping weekend with her two sisters. The power steering pump started whining a little bit and the wife knew if 'something' happened to my baby that I would be upset. She called and told me what was going on and I said that there was a qt of ATF fluid behind the back seat. My wife thought I was pulling her leg and trying to get her to do something stupid, when I told her ATF Fluid. One of her sisters piped up and I could hear her say..."It is ok, I saw my husband do the same thing with our truck and it is fine"... . (Her husband is a Diesel Mechanic and their truck she was talking about was a 2000 7.3)
