Power steering pump...

Well, here's the deal...i have a '94 F150 and it has a 5.0 in it, i've had it a while and the power steering pump has been making a "wining" sound when you turn the wheel, is this normal or is it about to give up on me??? I've heard both could happen from different people but i really don't know what to think so any ideas??? Thanks for you'r input!!!

Depends, most Fords have a reputation for the whinning steering pump. However, this can also indicate a problem. How does the fluid look? How does the steering feel?

The fluid is a dark brownish color and the steering is very smoothe and easy, i've just been told two different things, i really don't thing anythink is wrong with it because i've heard a l0th of other trucks similar to mine do the same thing,, so i was really just wantin to confirm whether or not something was really wrong with it.

sounds like you might want to change the fluid though. correct me if im wrong but isnt it supposed to be a pinkish color and if its brown it means its burnt?
