1976 ford f250 steering gearbox assembly instructions

POSSIBLY!
Bad steering gearbox.
Check for leaks from gearbox itself.

Go back to the dealer ,chat the storeman up nicely and he will print you off the parts picture so you some idea where it goes ,this vehicle is so oil that nothing is complicated about this motor as i repaired a 350 1989 model last week and apart from getting the plugs out after they had been in for 15 yrs their was nothing i found difficult ,just big and heavy with its twin rear wheels and a complete brake rebuild as well .Still think a ford transit diesel is a better motor though because at our fuel prices here in europe ? need i say more

Yes and No

Yes if you the knowledge of welding gussets for the larger bushings it takes.
No if you do not have a welder and the materials to make your own new parts to attach

1999 F250 diesel. POwer steering fluid "pours" out of the trk when the steering wheel is turned. Does not leak when at rest, fluid coming out between the steering box and frame....is the a hose inbetween there or is it a possible cracked box (bolts are tight on frame)

you should really never have to adjust unless you were rebuilding it, if theres alot of play in the steering then check the front end components, if every thing is tight then replace the gearbox, this is common on these trucks the gearbox wears,

try lmctruck.com

Yes it can, on top of the steering gear box there is a locking nut with a screw in the middle of it, loosen the lock nut and with a common screw driver turn the center screw in, clockwise for tighting steering and counter clockwise to loosen steering. That will take out what they call the play in the steering wheel.

There is a pulley on the tensioner but it may be best to replace the whole tensioner pulley assembly. There should be a bolt through the tensioner above the pulley. Once you remove that bolt you will be able to replace the tensioner.

No adjustment, sound like gearbox has failed, be sure to flush power steering system before installing new gearbox.

Whatever it had when it was sold in OR is what will be required in calif, it goes by engine calibration number, that is on a sticker on the valve cover, another way to get it is to run the VIN number on a Ford information computer, we call this the OASIS SYSTEM. Also check the emission sticker on the radiaor support under the hood.
