The Ford engineers, with their belt-driven oil pump and now this, need to think a little deeper on their next engineering project. Excellent job on this rebuild, Sadel. Most other shops would probably replace the entire rack ($$$$).
Yes, I bet the natural instinct is to replace the whole unit, but once I researched the part I realized how expensive of a repair it could get and ended up finding out this was a possibility.
I just diagnose one of these steering racks for a shop. They replaced the belt and now they have a bunch of codes with no assist to the power steering. The module has power, grounds, and comm. The module has to be replaced, but the suck part is that it's expensive and they have to get a complete unit. I'll program it to the vehicle when they get it. Nice breakdown
yes, it is a very expensive unit from researching this job out. Obviously, I had scanned and checked a bunch of stuff prior to making a decision of replacing the belt only.
You can get the belt at "Power Steering Seals" it's for 2011-2014 F150 and the part #: PSS.EPS.FRD.005

Wow lucky the car owner found you 🎉. I hope my MB W212 eps i can find its replacement belt, also a 2014 but only 30k miles. For back up sake
