    Do any of y'all know of common issues with the power steering on the 5.4 250s? Maybe its the tire size? I started with a leak... now I'm on my third pump and its not doing so hot... I mean I JUST left my mechanic! I'm seriously close to moving on from this truck right now its not even funny... OK, rant/question concluded

    trust me, i thought about getting a newer truck instead, but we are in the middle of trying to rid ourselves of debt... an we have alot of it. there will be much penny pinching for the next two years. my plan right now is to do a flush on payday (when i have money to even buy fluid!) then hope and pray it helps it. right now it is "working" but i can feel it catching most of the time and it is really hard to turn when stopped... but sometimes it works like a caddy. do any of you have an additive or something that you would recommend? ive heard that can help a little with weak ps.
