Hi guys. Here is my current affliction with my redneck battlewagon: I have been going throught power steering pumps like toilet paper. I first replaced my ps pump about two years ago, then ended up replacing the steering box shortly thereafter. It seems that i have gone through one or two pumps every year since then. Does anyone have some advice for me?

Hi Edward, I don't know if this will help or if you have tried this already but I had a similar problem with my 79 F150 about 4 years ago. I wasn't replacing the steering pumps but the gearbox instead (probably because of my larger tires: 38.5 X 16). Went through 3 before I found the problem. Turned out I had air in the system. I replaced the gearbox the last time, then was told to "Jack up the front so that Both wheels are off the ground. Run the engine and turn the wheel from lock to lock 20 to 25 times. Refill the reservoir as needed." If you have already done this, I'm sorry but I can't help - if not, Its worth a try. Good luck! Mitsy Good
