So, I am wondering. My LS 2000 V6 makes a loud noise also. Now that I read that air bubbles in the fluid or bad pump may cause this... I wonder if this is my problem.
My Cooling Fan Hydraulic pump has a crack on the the pipe that a pressure hose goes onto. At first it sounded like the usual loud noise FORD cars make when the power steering pump runs without fluid. I noticed the sub tank for the cooling fan was almost empty. I added added fluid, noise gradually went away (pump noise) but fan sounds loud, like a 747 coming at you. I still have not replaced my pump, so I hope when I do and make sure there is no air in the fluid, it wont be as loud.
I have to be filling it up like every 3 or 4 days, and i guess it sucked air when it ran super low.. you guys think replacing the pump should help? Or are there other things to look at?
