I just removed my engine and tranny and reinstalled after swapping the trans and addressing some engine issues. The Ranger is running perfect right now and does'nt leak a drop of fluids but there is one problem now that was'nt there before.................MY POWER STEERING PUMP!
While the vehicle is moving it's fine to drive, but in parking lots and what not it's just manual steering. Also, when the engine rpm's are up it works good but once they fall to about 1500 (guessing here) it's harder then hell to turn the meats. I know I got some water in the pump when I was pressure washing it and the fluid does'nt look so good. How do I flush the system and are there any tips or tricks to try before I know I'll need to replace it? Thanks.
