We are working on Ford 6000 that the power steering is not working. Pressure test shows it only has 800 psi when the steering dead-headed one direction. We have the pump off and it looks to me that the relief valve is stuck closed but the bypass piston is free in the bore. The oil had a lot water in it which I am affraid may have caused havoc in the whole system. We have not taken the pump apart yet to inspect it but I am hoping someone has some experience with these systems. It is my understanding that the pump is the same as the 800 series????
