Hi all , it's been awhile but the ole 00 ford has me getting the tools out again.
I seem to have a PS line leak,leaving a spot about 2" big on the drive overnight. I gave it quick look underneath and found it coming from above the plastic PS knuckle above the box. From what i could see it would be the line from the reservoir to the pump. Right at the bend next to the frame .
How hard is it to change out ? I see there's a spring clamp on the pump end . Getting a new line will be easy since I have a hydro shop near by...had to have a tranny line made there last yr .

 

At the moment my system is leaking in the same place. I replaced the clamp on the pump with a worm-drive type and its still leaking. The hose itself appeared fine, so I'm not sure. If you look at the top of the pump there's a bolt in it and I'm almost thinking that there might be a bad seal in mine. One of these days I'm going to replace the pump with a spare, just haven't gotten there yet...

 

It turned out to be the line from the cooler to the reservoir.
After dropping the skid plate,tying the supply hose out of the way and turning the wheel to the left it was pretty easy to get at. Started by disconnecting the cooler end 1st to drain the tank and plug the cooler line. Then the top clamp at the tank and it pulls right out after its un clipped from the frame. Having the wheel turned made it easy for dealing with the frame clips and routing the line.Pulled the old one out from the bottom and installed the new from the top.
Advance auto had the replacement for 15.00 ...in stock !
