Hello All,
Well, I had a friend roll in a couple of days ago complaining about no power steering in his (1985 Ford LTD, 3.5 Liter TBI engine).
I looked in the power steering reservoir and the darn thing was empty; so, I filled it with powe steering fluid and----NOTHING.
So, I went to Autozone and bought a new Power steering pump, installed in on the car and filled it with --POWER STEERING FLUID......
THe next day the reservoir was empty and no power steering......I filled it with fluid and STILL NO POWER STEERING.....I think I got a leak!!!.....what the heck? Did the pump burn up that fast???
I had a couple of people tell me that the 1985 power steering pumps use Dexron II ATF fluid NOT power steering fluid.....what the heck????
Oh Well......................
