Arrow Disappointed

I find it disappointing that I started a thread hoping to get some info,
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=491404
and I couldnt even get a reply or comment about it.
It never use to be that way???

Thanks for your time
Jeff

Maybe no one knows what the problem is.

Should we all reply with "I don't know" on every post that we know nothing about? Those would be some long worthless threads if we did, but on the upside we all would have high post counts.

Sorry to disappoint you.

This is the only reference I can find regarding any hydraulic issues and this is for the '04s...could possibly apply to '03...just guessing that you have an '03 since I had to go look into your profile to try and discover what MY you are referencing.

It helps everyone help you if you post at least the MY you are asking about.

Good luck...

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

Thanks to those who have an intelligent guess or reply. sorry about not putting enough info about my truck in the post. It is an 03, also the noise happens in the steering and the brake which has me concerned because this is a new noise.

TO THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR POST COUNT UP OR IF YOU THINK THAT IS WHY IM HEAR .

Thanks for your time
Jeff

it started doing this the last time i had it in 4x4 ,so i'm trying to find out what the cause is ,maybe it has something to do with the vacum system for the hubs,is your truck a 4x4.

You over filled the turn signal fluid in my opinion. I'm just north of you 1.5 hrs on 23, maybe we can get together and take a look. Is your dealer Coughlin Ford in Johnstown?

Maximum4X4,
I think you could be right about the turn signal fluid, but I loaned out my bleeder tool to someone that was trying bleed the fluid out of his beam stretcher.
If you have the tool and the time, I would love to get your opinion. My dealer is'nt Coughlin, but I have been their before.
If you do want to get together pick a time and place. It sounds good to me.

Thanks for your time
Jeff
