Does your pump still work ok? I still have noise in mine after flushing the system. I was told if flushing didn't fix the noise the only solution is a new pump. Mine still works good, so I put up with the noise for now. If it starts getting weak I will have to change it.

Did it reduce the noise at all? My Ranger's PS pump made noise for the 5 years I owned it, and I never had an issue with it. I new about the syn trick, but never tried it until I got this truck. And it did quiet it down...

one last stab before you replace the pump might be to add lucus power steering additive. iv had good luck with it. but when my pump acted up i replaced it.
