Power steering question

Ratpatator · Jan 25, 2018

Quick question... Does my ps pump need to be programmed?
I need to have a new power steering pump put in, this is the second one, first one I did myself. Talked to Ford about them doing it so it would be warrantied. They are trying to tell me that it needs to be programmed. This is bs right. It's hydraulic...

Was it Ford Dealer that you talked to or Range Rover? lol The only thing you might want to do is talk to the pump, give it some pep talk before installing it....

That's what I thought. Never "programmed" the other one and it ran for probably 50k. I called them back and she was looking up a 12 not an 11 apparently. Is there a difference between the two?

Warrantied? If your dealership warrants a PS pump for more than 60 days, I'll be shocked.

I do not think so. Its is a pick up truck not a Tesla

i replaced my PS pump over last summer. i dont think there was even an electrical plug on it. actually now that i am thinking about it, there was not. 2013.

i have never heard of PS programming on a hydraulic system.

Bluetooth programming, lol.

What a crock, yes 11 and 12 are same same.

Yeah they said it would carry a 2 year limited warranty I think there might be a 12000 mile limit to tho I just wanted the install to be warranty tho so if it took out my one year old steering rack then they could replace it but it sounds like that doesn't matter either

Needles to say my truck will never go to their shop for repair. One more question. Where do I get a ps high pressure line seal or do you have to buy the whole hose?

rockauto.com or tascaparts.com

Rock auto is a vendor here and they have discount codes for FRF.
Tascaparts is not but their site is easier to navigate and find what you are looking for with pictures on most.
Lot of times, I use tasca to find the part number and price it at rockauto.

And by the way, the PS pump has a 2yr warranty according to here:

Thanks. I'll have to check them out and get a few I'm hoping to find one local. The truck is my daily driver/work truck. I have the pump I just forgot that I would need the seal too
