Does it steer fine? Ford pumps are known to be noisy. You can get an additive that seems to quiet them down with diff degrees of success.

You will also see an improvement by turning your wheels all the way to one side and then the other---In SSSLLLLOOOOWWWW MMMOOOTTTTIIIIOONNN! (Slow motion) I'm talking, do this over and over a few times--turn it so SLOW, that it might take you several minutes, to get all the way across (seems that, the slower the better). Let me know if I'm your buddy now!--The Medic
