So I noticed my steering was a bit tight and popped the hood, noticed the fluid level was at MIN. So I investigated and found on the Drivers side there are 2 hoses, one goes directly down to the rack and the other was unplugged... but I can't figureout where it goes? I don't believe there would be a vent line, it has to plug in some where. These 2 hoses are directly below the brake distribution block, any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

Sorry no pics, don't have a camera or enough light with my phone. Thanks

 

the high pressure line (500psi under load) goes from the bottom of the pump, to the rack. The second line, is the low pressure(return line), that follows from the return line on the rack to the reservoir. Make sure that the hose at the bottom of the reservoir is connected.

 

There should be a small cooler inline as well. I believe all F150's built from 2004 to 2008 had power steering coolers installed. Cralwing under the truck makes it easier to see the lines as well. Being that low in fluid, you should have spots on the driveway to indicate a leak.

 

Thanks alot guys, we had a few inches of snow/sluch this morning and wasn't about to lay in it with my good work clothes on... lol. I'll be sure to check the routing to the resevoir and from underneath after work, I'll let ya know what I find.

Thanks
