Lost Power Steering
I drove my f-150 4x4 to my grandmas today which is about 25 miles away and when I went to leave I noticed that my truck had leaked power steering fluid all over their driveway so I toped it off and drove home I dorve the back way wich is curvy and 35 to 45 all the way ( I still dont know how i did it espicaly in the dark and 35's arent easy to steer with out the power steering) and it smoked for about 15 miles and quit I think it blew a line. Also how much damage could I have done I have a few spare pumps could I have hurt the steering box?

Replace the pump and install an inline filter in the system.
Wix transmission/PS filter #58964
200 psi working, pressure relieved, magnetic
change yearly or 12000 miles
Ford equivalent filter kit #XC3Z-7B155-AA
filter alone #XC3P-7B155-BA
Always use a filter when you replace or repair the power steering system. These are also good filters to add to your tranny cooling lines.
