How do you replace the pitman shaft seals on a 1993 ford ranger with power steering?
In general, repairing a steering gear is not recommended for the casual mechanic. Rebuilt steering gears are available at a reasonable cost. A leaky pitman shaft seal is indicative of internal damage. The seals do not usually fail without something else acting as a catalyst. You'll be far better off if you just replace the steering gear. And while you're at it, check the hydraulic fluid for any contaminants. If anything is floating around in the power steering pump and/or the hoses, it would be a good idea to replace them all since it will just cause the new parts to fail prematurely.
What happens if you put engine oil in your power steering?

What would cause a power steering pump to go out repeatedly on a 1999 Ford F-250 diesel?
I would say most likely HEAT! Does the power steering unit have a cooler? When you changed the power steering unit previously did you replace, not replenish, replace the fluid? Usually pwer steering pumps run a long time but once the fluid gets contaminated, either with dirt, debris or the lubricants are cooked out of the fluid then the fluid doesn't keep the seals soft. When the seals get hard the unit leaks and sometimes whines and squeals. I have added Lucas Power Steering Additive to some power steering untis that were on thei rlast legs to get them to last awhile longer. It's about $10.00 for a small bottle but it did stop leaks. If your power steering unti is out and you are going to replace it, look into adding a cooler to it, a small condensor that will remove some of the heat from the fluid. Or you could maybe insulate the power steering unit with some sort of insulation material. The power steering unti sometime sits very close to the headers or exhaust manifolds which helps deteriorate the fluid. Power Steering fluid is one of the most overlooked fluids. Many of today scars use transmission fluid for the power steering fluid and if you ever have a transmission get the fluid all hot, you will soon be replacing or repairing the tranny.
