[QUOTE="rschap1, post: 1849203, member: 60507"] Well, I have had my '11 for 6-7 months now. A few times when cold starting I have noticed the PS hard at idle when setting. Then... last night I put the truck DEEP in the ditch. I live on a lake and a section of the road is MUCK deep and filled with cat tails. On my way home from putting deposit on a "winter beater MKX" slid off the road into the lake. Was going to take pics since I probably won't ever be getting it so covered in $hi+ and dirty on purpose again. It did leave one heck of a hole. Took a tractor lifting the @$$ end up and pulling to get back on the road. Most of the morning at the car wash and all cleaned up. Still stinks like burning swamp muck, but better than last night. BUT... the steering is a LOT worse after giving the poor truck the berries getting out last night. Overnight was near zero and I thought maybe just defrosting would help. But now above freezing and still nearly no power assist at an idle and stand still. A few rpms or rolling a couple miles an hour helps quite a bit. Hear more moaning and groaning all the time from the power steering pump. Knew I should not have been driving the Raptor with the MT tires in any snow. Knew something wasn't going to be good even if it was just the chloride and salt. Just wondering if there is anything besides rack replacement to look at...? Fluid full and belt seems OK. Wondered if any ideas or something to look at. Appreciate it !!! Drive safe. Winter $uck$ [/QUOTE]
