One problem related to power steering pump has been reported for the 2002 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The power steering pump pulley popped off the pump shaft after a blowout of the left front tire on my 2002 Ford f250 diesel pickup truck. The pulley appears to be pressed onto the pump shaft. I suspect a piece of tire tread hit the pulley or excess stress caused by the blowout caused it to pop off the shaft. The result is an immediate loss of steering. I am interested in knowing if this has happened in other similar vehicles. Thank you, thomas huebner.
