JLT CAI with Tuner Help!!

About 3 weeks ago I installed my JLT CAI with a tuner on my 2010 Mustang Gt. As i was driving earlier today, my power steering was making sounds & I come to realize that it's giving out. Could this be because the installation instructions told me to move my power steering from where it originally was? I'm going to go back stock today & take it to the dealership tomorrow. Any advice if I go back to stock on tuner can they still trace it? Will they even go that far considering that it's only power steering and not my engine? Help!!

Post It pays to research the internet

"The install instructions tell you to flip your power steering tank 180 degrees and mount it on the fan housing. On the 2010 mustang the upper hose from the tank is too long after this change and even if it looks like its ok after some time and heat it will kink. Luckily when my power steering pump started sounding like a super charger I was only a mile from home. Do yourself a favor and shorten this hose about 3 to 4 inches during the install."

Drive your car about 50 miles before you take it to the stealership!

Thanks for the info. My car is a 2010 mustang gt. It was the rotating of the power steering that was the problem. I just returned to stock & my car sounds fine now. I'm going to re install the JLT CAI on Tuesday. When i took the JLT CAI off I noticed that the power steering cable was pinched which i would understand why it sounded like that. Is there a special tool I should use to shorten the cable or will a blade do the magic.
