Power steering Pump

[Big White Raptor]

I agree 100%. I pretty much exclusively off-road my truck. I have the stock pump and reservoir. I had no issues at all until I put 37" General Grabbers (very heavy tires) on. 50k off-road miles and I'm on my second pump and I'm still running those heavy tires.

I will say I've had hoses blow off three times, but unless you are changing the front end around the stock will work fine. Replace the reservoir if you want a little extra safety.

A stock pump is $200, the Howe is $1000. I just carry a spare pump with me. I can swap it out 3 or 4 more times before I would have paid for the Howe. I also have a belt I carry that fits the 6.2, bypassing the PS pump. Worst case, I'll go without PS to get off the trail.

I’m also running general grabbers absolutely love those tires. Where are you finding an OEM pump for $200? My mechanic is trying to source one and can’t find any and neither can I? Ford has an OEM for $340 but that’s all I can find local other than another manufacturer like Autocraft through special order.

Thank you so much! Thoughts on brands? I saw online that Cardone doesn’t have the best reviews but BBB manufactures for NAPA so I may go with them

I ordered the OEM pump from a dealer in KC for $224:

Warning, I believe there is a small core charge as well.

It looks like the BBB one doesn't include the pulley. Probably fine for swapping in your driveway, but if you are wanting a spare for the trail I would make sure you have a new one with the pulley to make it easier and quicker.

Are the 2010 6.2 pumps still unobtainable? Will a 2011 work what are the differences? Thought my pump was on way out turned out noisy idler. I keep fluid changed and have PSS cooler and reservoir , fluid is clean redline power steering fluid always. 95,000 miles

after my power steering pump went out, i had a fun time playing musical pumps. the cardone pumps were doa for me. i ordered one, put it in, didnt work. shipped it back and put my dead oem back in. 10 days later got a replacement. it was dead too. pulled it out, sent it back and got my money back. i ended up going to autozone and buying one. they have a lifetime warranty so if it goes out again, i can swap it at any store. so far its been just fine. been about 16k miles now. the motorcraft is the oem part so that will always be the best. just a little more expensive is all. but i couldnt wait any longer so i decided autozone was best for me.

I would get an aftermarket reservoir and stick with an oem pump.

This.

Buy once, cry one. When my stock pump went out after it's second offroad trip a week after I got the truck, I put the Lee pump and reservoir kit on. It's been on for 2yrs and 50k trouble free miles. Probably 5k of those miles have been off-road.
