Help
About to change my powersteering pump on my '98 B4000. I don't have an owners manual and seem to be getting different info in my search.
Looking for fluid capacity and what type of fluid. I see some posts on line say it uses automatic transmission fluid? Is normal powersteering fluid not okay?

 

Ranger fluid capacities seen here: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...ds-capacities/

2.1 pints, Ford Type F ATF is recommended for 1983-1995 Rangers
You can use what ever you want, but ATF is usually cheaper than PS Fluid, but not in all cases

In a transmission I would stick with what the maker specs, but for power steering I think you can use what you want, if its noisier than normal then use what maker speced

 

Thanks Ron, off to the store I go
