2WD?

Ford's online parts locator is down, so I can't check to see if it's available, but FTE sponsor GREEN SALES has several. 800-543-4959.

Thanks - it is a 4x4
Sorry forgot that in the thread. A guy looked at my truck and looked under it and said " You have 4" axle hubs and your front dif has a high pinion ..you just may have a Dana 60 in this front dif ..8 bolt wheel lugs .." Only had the truck for 3 days and it is very clean and no rust to worry about ( a small bit of surface rust in one area). Would any of this information change the part number you replied to. Guess I better get into this stuff if I want to keep the truck running good. Got a LOT to learn .

The part number I listed ABOVE IN POST # 2 ^^^ is for 2WD ONLY and will not work on a 4WD truck.

I knew it was 4x4 when I read this

But you actually mean Steering gear..... not pump
