Over the last weekend my power steering pump froze, has anyone else had a problem with the after market ps units? Is anyone running something other than the standard Ford or after market ps pump?

Mine still has the Ford unit it came with. I lengthened the fill tube as is done on the GTS's. I also flushed out the system when my rack was replaced due to a seal and filled it with Royal Purple synthetic. Seems to work great, quiet as well.

There are lots of "crappy" rebuilt pumps that don't hold up. We only use brand new ones from Ford......3x cost but never a DNF.
You might take your pump to the dealer to match and price a new (not rebuilt) unit.....or try for a high end rebuilt (hard to find). Add the hose top extender like the GTS to get some more fluid and room to expand.
