STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
I WAS ON AN INTERNET SITE CALLED FORD-DIESEL.COM AND A FEW GUYS THERE REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THEIR STEERING LOCKING UP WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES HARD. ONE GUY EVEN REPORTED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO STEER HIS TRUCK WHEN HE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO GET CONTROL OF HIS TRUCK. I DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE TEST ON MY TRUCK TO SEE IF MY TRUCK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I APPLIED MY BRAKES HARD AT ABOUT 55 MPH AND TRIED TO STEER AND SURE ENOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP. SEE THIS LINK FOR THE GUY WHO ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE HTTP://FORUMS.FORD-DIESEL.COM/UBB/ULTIMATEBB.PHP?UBB=GET_TOPIC&F=24&T=003307 . I AM NOT SURE IF FORD IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUY GUYS WITH BRAN NEW TRUCKS ARE REPORTING THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEIR DEALER IS SAYING THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE PULLING A LARGE LOAD WITH ONE OF THESE TRUCKS AND NOT BE ABLE TO STEER WHEN THEY NEEDED TO.*AK
