So heres my problem. I have an 04 f150 and i have been running bfg 35x12.50 tires since about a week after i got the truck. since then i have put about 30,000 miles on it and i have already been through 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS!! I am now on my third pump. I am also replacing all my wheel bearings and and arms, because of these tires. Why is this happening to me? i see these same tires on trucks all the time including my exact model truck. Does everyone go through pumps and front end problems like this? please help!

MY mechanic told me that its the newer model f-150. He says and older model truck, a 250, or a chevy could handle these tires.

 

Seams odd to me. There are a ton of guys running 35"s on your yr truck with no problems. Let us know if you figure it out. There has to be another part to this equation that we are missing.

 

something else is wrong.

i ran 35's on my f150 for 35k miles no issues. no tons of people who have not had issues and been lifted way longer than me.

 

Have they looked at your "rack n pinion" for issues?

Bad seals and or valving?

 

if you are taking it to firestone service center off exeter and poplar. go to a different mechanic they are ripping you off.
