6.0 steering pulse
my buddies 2003 F-350 superduty 4x4 crew cab sb has a steering pulse in it.
When you a driving straight it is fine but soon as you start around a curve the steering wheel will pulse against your hand like it is trying to steer truck other way. As long as your turning it pulses against the turn.local ford dealer has tried to fix but can't anybody got any ideas how to fix thanks

Are the hubs locked? If the dealer can't fix this problem, take it to another dearship. Something is not right and if they can't fix this simple to diagnos problem I would not want them working on the engine.

Maybe this information will help. It is a cut and paste of broadcast messages from the dieselman's website.
04 F-Series/Excursion Power Steering Noise:
Some trucks may exhibit a moan or grunt noise from the power steering when turning the steering wheel, usually more pronounced on left turns. The noise may sound like it's coming from the steering gear or column. Replace the hydraulic pressure line running from the brake hydroboost to the steering gear, and the return line running from the gear to the cooler. Take care to prevent any debris from entering the hydraulic system.
Pressure line: 4C3Z-3A719-C
Return line: 4C3Z-3A713-A
TSB 04-23-08
05 F-Series Steering Gear Noise:
Some trucks built before 11-24-04 may exhibit a noise when turning the steering wheel, especially left turns. The noise may sound like it's coming from the steering gear or column. To repair, replace the steering gear with part number 5C3Z-3504-AA. Broadcast Message 3509.
Good luck and let us know if these messages helped, or what the real problem was.
