M1008 power steering

[jeffro589]

Hey guys,
I replaced the steering gear, pump, and lines on my 1008 over the course of a few days. Now the assist feels very strange and hard braking the pedal returns slowly. I'm really just looking for someone to go out to their truck and take a few pictures of where the lines go between the pump, steering gear, and hydroboost unit. Thanks

It sounds like there is air in the system. Jack the front end up, start engine, then turn the steering wheel full lock left, then full lock right. Repeat several times and double check the fluid level. That should purge the air.

You are not really able to mix the lines up. The ends are bent on way and the flare nuts are different sizes. You have 3 lines to the hydra-boost and they only fit one way. I can take a picture for you today if you would like. Good Luck but I think these guys are right about the air in the system.

Like CUCVRUS has written......the only Lines you can mix are the returnlines......
