Looking for an upgraded power steering reservoir for a Gen 1 raptor/09-14 F150 (or whatever other year fits Gen 1 raptor).

I’ve been having issues with burnt fluid and some pump noise. I’ve flushed the fluid completely but I’m assuming this will help alleviate the lingering symptoms?
If you still have pump noise and have bled the system properly when just normal driving, you will need to replace your pump. This reservoir only helps a good healthy system to stop having that pump noise from overheating when offroading. It can't reverse any ongoing symptoms, not that I know of.

I was having pump noise when turning the wheels when completely stopped and at low speeds and had fluid that smelled badly burnt. It now makes no noise and much of the vibration is gone, but I still get some random and slight vibration when turning. I was told that the higher fluid capacity of the upgraded reservoirs can help with that.

Yes it does, make sure you follow the directions if you install it, to prevent an air lock in the system, need to get all of the air out. I've had mine on for 6 or more years now and never have the fading or noise anymore. Good luck.
