New Jack that needs some help..
I just bought a used 1999 ranger and everything was going well until two days ago it started to make a whining noise when I turn and sometimes it just seems to whine when I stop or slow down..Ive looked it up and I get everything from serpentine belt ,power steering fluid and power steering pump.. I checked the fluid and its at the right level..Im just not sure where to go next , so my question is do I change the belt and or the pump? Or could it be something completely different ?

I bought this truck cheap due to money and needing a truck asap..I will keep buying rangers because I like their look at what they have to offer from what I read.

I've been told that the pumps on rangers aren't the greatest and make noise, mine does but it hasn't broken yet or anything. I wouldn't really worry about it unless it really bugs you that much.

^^ ps pumps on the rangers are super noisy. Search and you'll find stories of people replacing the ps pump with a new one or reman and it makes more noise than before. Just a crappy design

Re: New Jack that needs some help..
Ford PS pumps in general tend to be noisy. My Dad's old F150 had a crazy loud PS pump, that never went out in the 10+ years he had it.
If you listen to other fords around town and in parking lots, you should be able to hear other cars & trucks with a similar whine. The whine is most pronounced when turning the wheel at low speeds.

What exactly does "reman" mean? And ford power string pumps are just generally noisy. Mine is loud too but it still works good.
