[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1919068, member: 35543"] Exactly, at full lock the system pressure spikes and causes the pressure relief valve to open. That can occur multiple times when cranking the wheel to full lock doing donuts. Factor in that it’s a 10 year old truck most likely running original components and fluid, add the heat from pressure spikes and no airflow to cool it down, and you have a recipe for system failure. Never mind the fact that Gen 1 used the same PS pump as a standard F-150, but had to deal with the extra weight and 35” tires. [/QUOTE]
