Default F'n Pwr Steering Pump

2008 F150, engineers decided to bury the thing, and I cant seem to get a good one and its a pita to change. So far I've put 2 on and both went bad, start whining. The racks been replaced it works fine, all the front end is new, uppers, lowers, struts.
Anyone got a recommendation on who puts out the best pump? I want one and done for Gods sake.

If you want it done right sometimes it’s best to do it yourself.
Plews and Edelman seal kit 3684 is listed for all 2008 F150 applications. Check Amazon

Thanks Barry, its not leaking, its whining. Oh, I see it know there's a bearing in there. Thanks. BUT, I was looking for the entire pump already rebuilt

Both of them came from Autozone. I filled it to the cap but with steering fluid. So you're saying pull the pwr steering fluid out and put tranny fluid in? Interesting thought, we ALWAYS serviced them with tranny fluid when power steering fluid wasn't readily available.
I'm thinking its worth a shot and easily done.
