Been using wrong PS Fluid!

[Deleted member 12951]

Are the steering racks and pumps the same for all years? If so, I expect that either V or LV could be used.

You are probably right but considering how these fail, I sure don't want to be denied a warranty claim because I failed to use the proper fluid as stated in the owners manual.

My question was more about the damage of mixing the two.

Another question since I will be going to AMSOIL ATF synthetic will there be any issue if there is any left over regular ATF?

According to Tasca:

2010 6.2L:

Pump - AL3Z-3A674-BRM
Rack (SCAB) - AL3Z-3504-ARM

2014:
Pump - BL3Z-3A696-A - Also fits '12 and '13
Rack (SCAB) - CL3Z-3504-A - Also fits '12 and '13

Is this why you needed a new frame? Couldn't turn it easy enough?

I should note that I think '12 is when they switched from V to LV.

What about the 11 Screw I am getting ready to install the PSS res and cooler and thought I should flush with new since I have almost 80,000 miles. What the hell fluid do I need? This is all to confusing I need a drink.

It's in the raptor supplement for your owners manual, you can also get that from http://owner.ford.com

Actually the power steering type fluid is not in the 2014 Raptor supplement manual. Nor do I see it in the 2011

I had to look in the F-150 Owners manual to find it. On the 2014, it was page 310. Not sure on other years.

Thinking of just upgrading to the Howe kit that freedom motorsports has. I've already gone through 3 and on my 4th power steering, might as well just upgrade at this point
