If you live in a state that doesn't require an emission check, as I do, the emission stuff is nothing but a waste of fuel. I had the engine out of the truck to do rear main seal/that other stuff so I cleaned all taht crap out while it was easily accessible.

one of the first things I did when I got possession of the truck was to change all the fluids and make sure they were all at the proper levels. the pump has fluid, I have no problem believing it was neglected earlier in its life. Also I know for a fact that every other component in the steering system is adjusted to proper spec, with the possible exception of the alignment, where I have a little extra positive camber, but that's irrelevant because there was still play in the steering when the truck was in perfect alignment before I installed the larger springs in front.
