DIY Power steering pump replacement on a 1995 F350 Powerstroke

[@jerrellstrawn6409]

Thanks; this was a big help.

[@CentTxLiving]

Joe Drager glad to hear that, that's why I created the channel.

[@toddsmith5095]

Did that purging the system work turning wheel side to side ? Wheels are supposed to be off the ground ? Ive done this several times and I have never been able to get it to work turning wheel lock to lock then pumping brakes but wheels had to be off ground. Thanx

[@CentTxLiving]

Great! Glad I could help. 😁👍

[@Cfass1]

I just realized I installed the pulley backwards. Quite the accomplishment if you think about it. Can I blame it on my kids for distracting me. I don’t think so either. The belt still lines up so it is what it is. I guess I’ll have to sawzall the shaft off if this cheap remanufactured pump fails.

[@johnyq9105]

you should do a video on the inner cooler and how you did it been thinking bout doing it fo a little while

[@CentTxLiving]

johnyq that's a great idea, thanks. I'm in the middle of moving, so if you give me a couple weeks I'll get it done. Thanks for watching, and thank you for the comment.

[@Outdoorsnmotors]

Remove the fan shroud makes it a bit easier

[@rickobrien4025]

How does the pulley go back on ? Is the center of the shaft threaded so the pulley can be drawn back on ? ?

[@CentTxLiving]

Rick OBrien it is threaded. Use a bolt to press it on and be mindful of the alignment to the other pulleys; so the belt spins straight and even. I used a socket as a spacer to get the pulley drawn into the shaft. I hope that helps. Good luck.

[@NotOnYourLife]

Thanks for this, I am about to do the same job on my 94 F350 IDI, coincidentally I am also in CenTex.

[@CentTxLiving]

Well hello neighbor. I'm glad this video was of some use to you, I hope now the humidity cooperates so you can get it done. Lol

[@NotOnYourLife]

@@CentTxLiving It was 85% yesterday, down to 42% NW of Austin today. I will take it though, this Summer has been better than the normal 105 degree days so I suppose it all evens out.

[@CentTxLiving]

Yep, I'm in Spring Branch, so pretty similar. 👍

[@richardg4x4]

How does the new pressure line seal ring go back on?

[@CentTxLiving]

As I recall, that o ring went on just past the nipple and against the threaded portion on the line. I hope that helps.

[@jerrylampl6162]

How do you get the pulley back on? I didn’t quite understand that part.

[@CentTxLiving]

Use a bolt that threads into the center of the shaft. Test fit the bolt first to ensure it fits, then thread bolt on through the pulley. The bolt will press on the pulley as you tighten it. You may need to use some sort of spacer on the bolt as you get closer to the end.

[@bradwagner4657]

NorMI Living I couldn’t find a bolt to the threads what kind did you use ? Was yours full threaded

[@RoadKen53]

Did you flush the system to remove any metal particles from the trashed pump?

[@CentTxLiving]

Ken Doe I did flush the system just in case, I didn't show it just to keep the video length short. Plus, I had found several videos of people flushing the power steering system, so I figured that was well covered. Thanks for watching and giving me feedback.

[@jackierodriguez3576]

Hay is this the same way for a 95 Ford explorer , can I do the same way????

[@CentTxLiving]

Jackie Rodriguez I believe they are the same, they just changed the pulley. Not 100%though. Thanks for watching.

The 1 armed bandit removing a ps pump

[@TheTurbo900]

Did it whine when braking and hard turns after install

[@CentTxLiving]

No, not a sound after install. Nice and tight with no noise at all.

[@Popscotch328]

@@CentTxLiving Curious how the pump is doing after a year. I have a '90 F350 460.

[@CentTxLiving]

Well, the steering gear went bad, then the pump went bad right after I replaced the steering gear. Once I got the steering gear and the new pump fully bled, I just kept an eye on the fluid and that was it. I didn't have any problems at all. I decided to switch to one steering stabilizer at that point because the steering had improved so much.

[@natbarton4523]

Did you remove the inner fender

[@CentTxLiving]

No, not at all.

[@tjivey8304]

What brand pump did you use?

[@CentTxLiving]

I honestly don't even remember, all i can tell you is that I I bought the top dollar pump that advanced auto had at the time. My truck was a daily runner, so when that failed it left me without a vehicle. I would have loved to have gotten a red head gear or something that nature.

[@ashleyjustinandrew]

did you tephlon tape the high pressure feed when you reinstalled

[@kellismith4329]

No it is a tapered thread with a seal, not pipe thread

[@jsnyderl]

Thank you!

[@jerrellstrawn6409]

Where did you get the puller and 'pusher?'

[@CentTxLiving]

Joe Drager I bought it at Advance Auto. I think it was about $25 or somewhere near there.

[@RoadKen53]

you can get the same one at Harbor Fake for about 18 bucks.

[@Shin90x]

Thanks for the help I just wanted to see the hose on the side of the res

[@CentTxLiving]

T J I'm glad you found the video useful. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Shin90x]

NorMI Living I did sir there isn't a lot of detailed videos and I'm gland you did because when I looked up my leaking hose it came up with 3 different ones. Thanks again keep on trucking brother

[@Shin90x]

NorMI Living I have a quick question I just replaced the high pressure line and it's leaking at the bottom of the hose connected to the gear box I was wondering if you had any input on that. I changed it twice

[@CentTxLiving]

T J mine came with plastic orings on the both ends of the fittings ( I think it was both ends). You can check those while it's running and cycling the the steering back and forth. Another potential problem, that the pinion seal may now be leaking. I ended up replacing everything to stop the damn thing from leaking.

[@Shin90x]

NorMI Living thanks sir appreciate the info

[@christiansotterley3805]

Look at the color of the fluid that came out of the pump. Black. No wonder that pump took a shit. Maintenance people.

[@CentTxLiving]

The pump died because it has 200k on it. Thanks though.

[@whiteknightcat]

@@CentTxLiving And the fluid never got changed in that time.

[@CentTxLiving]

What is wrong with you? Do you really think it would have lasted that long without changing the fluid? Why are you speaking about facts that you do not have, about a situation that you were not involved with? Take this video for what it is- sharing information. Thanks for watching.

[@whiteknightcat]

@@CentTxLiving Answer: Yes. I do know of vehicles where the fluid never got changed and the pumps lasted into the 100K to 200K range. I know of one specific vehicle that now has over 300K miles on it and the owner never knew he had to change the PS fluid until he found out at about 200K. Pump is just now failing at over 300K miles.

[@kellismith4329]

Fluid does that, turns blackish shortly after you use it a bit this is normal

[@crosbywolfe4725]

Luckily my pulley exploded when my pump locked up, no need to mess with it

[@christiansotterley3805]

At intercooler isn't doing anything if you don't have a wastegate. Just so you know just a bunch of junk in the way.

[@CentTxLiving]

Egts went down almost 300° after I put it on- nice try though.

[@pilgrim666butters]

that makes zero sense lol

[@christiansotterley3805]

Black fluid

[@kellismith4329]

It wasn’t clear fluid when it was new

[@barrywolansky7245]

Poor demonstration of replacement

[@CentTxLiving]

Then make a better video and stop complaining. 😁👍
