PS Fluid has metal fines

[Ken1]

I have been having some loss of assist with PS system. Today I used a screwdriver that was magnetic to put into PS reservoir. When I touch bottom I removed and noticed lots of metal fines. I believe this is the cause of steering problems

sounds like the pump is eating itself...didnt you just buy that truck....
id take that thing back to the dealer...let 'em know you found "the
hub problem"...and why the power steering pump was low on fluid !

The dealer will repair and should not be a problem. Yes I purchased this F350 last Monday.
Thanks

if there is that many filings in there, hopefully when you take it in they will do a complete flush of the system....also, it might not be a bad idea they put on an in-line filter, so what ever filings are left will be filtered out...hope this helps

I will be requesting replacement parts.

Yeah, the box ain't cheap, and I'm sure the assist module for the brakes is pretty pricey too...
