Cleaning the gear was not really an issue if I had it to do over again I would do it the same way with the sharp metal pick. It wouldn’t hurt to go over it with a toothbrush after you run the pick over it. The old belt guts are stuck pretty good. I would have removed the tensioner to make it easier. As for brake clean we do allow it in the shop because it smells bad. Bad like it’s bad for you. The best thing to clean brakes with is water. All of the stuff loose inside the rack housing were dry and compressed air did the trick. Thanks for the comment. Hope you have a good year.
You can move the gear out to clean it by turning the drivers side wheel. I was able to make this belt change with little issue, but now I'm getting a clunk when the power steering engages. Is there a way to adjust the torque sensor?
I'm about to do some digging, but do you happen to know if this is the same R&P as ram was using at this time? Ram's issue seems to be electrical related, though.
I’m sorry I don’t but how many miles did you have on the vehicle? if you. have a parts house your friendly with see if they have a core you could trade out with. Or wrecking yard.
I have the same problem with a warning light on my dashboard . It says advanced track service and the blinker doesn’t work . Did you have the same warning light on your dashboard. I will like to know before I open the rack and pinion
@@antoniomaceda1943 the way we checked the rack was to put the front tires on the ground with the engine running and have one guy turn the wheel one way and then the other while one guy was underneath listening for the rack motor to run. If you don’t have a load on the front tire the motor will not turn. Use a screwdriver to your ear or a stethoscope to listen.
@@antoniomaceda1943i have this problem too the Advance track service turning on sometimes i disconec the battery AND Is working again i think Is electric problem
@@raulreyes3558did you figure it out? I'm having the same issue. Also sometimes when I turn right the steering will jerk real hard to the left and then be fine after that. No warning lights or anything. Definitely a scary feeling
Dang just do it like you know it! next time! Dang! ain't no other way but the right way! I'll vote hell of a job on that repair & thx for filming that gem of a sonna of ah #$&+/!!! finally get owned by the right person. Love the perm forma gasket great scent to it too .. Will be right behind y'all mine blew up 2am last night on my 2014 f150 5.0 4x thk God I had my choc lab with me he got to endure the pain & wonderment of just bam locked up! Off the road!! Royal SuckFest but God willing I'm going in that son bees wx tmw morn. Well done thank you buddy
$574.00 and you're married to that rack! Yes, I know the price of rebuilt and new. They have to warrant it, not you. You're not going to tell me you don't have atleast 3 hrs fiddling with that
They were going to sell the truck with no power steering because they could not afford to fix it with another rack and programming so it was done with the understanding that there was no warranty and he will actually make his money back from the repair plus some. Thats what we do for good customers. Normally I would agree with you on the married to it thing. Thanks for the comment

Maybe an old toothbrush with brake cleaner would help get that pulley cleaned up.
Good video.

If you cant take the rack off you dont need to be doing this. 😂 He aint lying.
did you try it?
I'm about to do some digging, but do you happen to know if this is the same R&P as ram was using at this time?
Ram's issue seems to be electrical related, though.
I’m sorry but I have zero experience with the ram.
They share parts from what I can find, the casing & electronics are different. The motor, belt, & recirculating ball seems to be the same
Do you know anywhere that sells the recirculating ball/ gear/ bearings assembly? I can buy belts, seals, but not the gear..
I’m sorry I don’t but how many miles did you have on the vehicle? if you. have a parts house your friendly with see if they have a core you could trade out with. Or wrecking yard.
I got a question, how did you pull the bearing out so that it would give you space to put the belt onto the gear
The big bearing or the tensioner bearing.
Did you have to re program????
No, not at all.
What did you pickup truck did when the belt broke
When the belt broke there was no power. You still had steering if you were strong enough. But there was no power assistance.

My power steering works good on my 2011 4wd F150 but it makes a terrible growling noise when turning the wheels.
does it have electric or hydraulic steering
It electric, I figured the bearings are going out.
Do you have the link for the belt?@@cookingintheshopwithmark1222

I guess you're labor is free....it would be cheaper to replace the rack
What are you talking about parts labor and tax was 574.00 have you priced a rebuilt rack only.
A rebuilt rack on rock auto ranges anywhere from 600.00 too 1200.00 before markup. Explain what you mean please.
