Power Steering Fluid Change??
Has anyone been able to find the procedure to change the power steering fluid in a 2021+ super duty. I specifically have the 7.3.
Trying to find some instructions/vid on the procedure before I take a crack. Little different with the 21+ since the reservoir has a screen etc.
Thanks!

Been a long time, but something like:
Behind left fender liner, pump lower hose. Pop it off to drain. Refill with front wheels off ground. Cycle steering back and forth. Might have to do it a couple times to cycle all fluid out.
Oddity, iirc, its Mercon LV ATF.

What I did was remove the smaller hose off the reservoir (small hose connected to cooler) attached some vinyl tubing to that hose and directly the fluid to a catch pan. I plugged the hole in the reservoir with some kinked vinyl tubing.
Turned the wheels locked to locked on cardboard and cycled a little more than 3 quarts of motorcraft LV ATF thru the cycle keeping fluid in the reservoir.
Will say it will probably be easier to rotate the tires in the air rather than cardboard.
