Thanks for the help

Just wanted to say that there are definitely some awesome people here on this forum...with that said I mean all are but wanted to give a special thanks to a couple in particular. First I will tell the story of my problem and then thank the guys... Had been out with the family all day yesterday and had a great day all was going great, went to new sams in town , took wife and kids to eat and we had to make one of our several stops of the week at wally world. Well we get out and go in and do our little shopping and come back out load everything up and as we are leaving the parking lot I try to make a right hand turn and my steering wheel bout beats me to death...it is pulsing back and forth and shaking like u know what...well I turn to the left and same thing happens. I think well maybe flat tire so I look at my side and wife hers and no can do all tires good. Well I continue to the house and it keeps on doing this when I turn. I pick up the ole trusty FTE cell phone LOL (not really one but sounds good) and call Rick Miller AKA miller_feed. I talk to him the whole way home and tell him what it is . Well to make a long story short it ended up that I flushed my power steering pump( and yes I got it all over the place) and man what a difference it made..I was checking in with Marv(SpringerPop) and he diagnosed same problem and now all is well.... Just wanted to give a Thank you very much to these guys and if yall can please REP them for me as I am in the REP dog house for now.... Once again thanks guys and FTE is definitely the Best there is and its because of guys like this ......

Thanks for sharing. Super great bunch of folks on here. Always carry a cell phone and slam in some contact phone numbers. Like having a cell phone repair manual. I am also glad you got it straightened out. Good job.

Dan and Mike you are both exactly right and the funny thing was they both diagnosed it exactly the same......Rick talked me through it completely as I was a little apprehensive on doing it myself for the first time and not screwing something up, the forum is a great bunch of folks and without those guys last nite I would prolly still be in a mell of a hess... . The difference after the flush was outstanding... Brakes feel much better and steering is awesome too. There is one thing for sure and the brother and sister hood that go along with it .......

Hey Ron. Glad to help, and you know anytime you need something, you can call me. I'm sure I will have questions about the Ranger for you.

I got him Roland.

I am glad that things worked out Ron. Like I said before many times this forum goes way above just the trucks.
