    Fording valve/system schematic/diagram

    that’s an old document and the routing is based on the model truck, the ECV and REV each vary on routing. the PS reservoir runs direct and up to the top of the fording intake, alongside the fuel tank vent.

    Electrical Dip

    while running, the needle should be sitting on the white mark in the green….but gauges can be sucky, best to just check for 27.5-28.5 output at idle.

    Help With Repairs

    The leaking is from the filler neck rubber, it’s a common failure part after 20yrs as fuel sets in the pocket between the neck of the filler and tank neck..over time, it softens the rubber, just replace it. the lift pump should be replaced along with all the fuel hoses and associated gaskets...

    Help Identifying Engine Label

    It’s a serpintine setup on a late Remote PS reservoir setup, it can only be a 6.5, the 6.2’s are flat out turned in and aren’t processed for disposition.

    Electrical Dip

    What is the best power steering pump?

    the OP stated the truck is an m1165, based on your statement you have an rcsk18330 pump, that doesn’t work in a truck with Remote PS reservoir, it’s for m998’s and A2 trucks and the occasional M1113. The rcsk18330 pump has a higher BAR than what is generally available, it’s to support the MM Winch.
