Thanks for the reply. So, even though you have a different dash kit, it sounds like the maestro/ stereo mostly respond the same. Mine also stays temporarily on the climate screen if I adjust either the fan or temperature but stays if I push the center of the temp knob. The only difference I see...

My 2013 Raptor had the base 4.5" stereo and display. I recently installed an iDatalink Maestro K150 dash kit with the RR interface module along with an Alpine iLX-507 head unit. Overall, I'm very happy with the install. Over the last couple of months, I've been working through learning the...

Thanks for the input. The video was helpful. The guy had me laughing. He sounds like me working on my truck. I replaced the tensioner since I’ve already tried everything else and I figured I had nothing to lose. No luck. It still makes the same noise.

Sorry it took me so long, we had a bit of a family emergency which kept me from working on my truck. I replaced all of the hoses and fittings, bled the system and I am still having the exact same problem. I was able to get all of the air out of it and then a couple of days later It groaning and...

The fittings are on back order so it’ll probably be a couple of weeks before I get everything. I’ll post the results when I get it all done.

I bought a new rack a few months back but just got around to changing it a couple of weeks ago. It made no difference whatsoever. So that was a big waste of time and money. I’m kind of in the same boat as you. I've bled and bled and re-bled a million times. I’ve also had my pump replaced and...

I bought a remanufactured Motorcraft rack from Rock Auto (thanks for the tip FordTechOne). I’m holding off slightly on the replacement however. I’ve wanted to install RPG tie rods for a while. Since my truck is nearing 100k and it will all be apart, I figured now was the time to do it. I’ll...

I didn’t know I could buy a remanufactured Motorcraft unit. At 329 I might give this a shot.

I don’t know if I’d trust a remanufactured rack. I don’t really have a problem buying a new one if I need to, it’s just that I don’t know if I do. I don’t like buying things I don’t need. I’m probably gonna just bite the bullet and really cross my fingers that fixes my problem. I really don’t...

Well I changed the rack adaptor last weekend. I took my time and bled the system very carefully. It was very quiet for about five minutes and then started making noise again. I really think my rack and pinion might be the problem, I just don't know that there is a way to verify this assumption...

Lee is sending me a new rack adaptor with O-rings. If this doesn't fix the problem, I feel like it almost has to be the rack is bad.

I'm with you, I don't fully understand either but from what I've been told it's possible. I can for sure say that there is not any sort of pinched or kinked line. It's all new, I've been over it more times than I care to have been. Also, when I installed the system, I flushed out all of the old...

Another thought I’ve been having, how likely is it that my rack and pinion is bad and or leaking air. I see no evidence of fluid leakage anywhere in the entire system, which makes finding the air leak all that more difficult. I’d hate to be spinning my wheels on the pump and hoses when the...

Yeah, I've done it a bunch of times with the engine off and it only moderately worked. I did it yesterday with the engine running and it really pushed out a bunch of air. Unfortunately I think I've got a leak somewhere.

That's what I'm thinking right now.
