In most vehicles, you can substitute ATF fluid instead of using Power Steering Fluid.
Alot of older cars, people would put ATF auto trans fluid in the power steering as a substitute. Could this be the case here?
Actually , the 2000 Ford F-250 owners manual shows that Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the power steering
Most cars that call for normal power steering fluid can take transmission fluid as a substitute but there are exceptions. Hondas MUST use power steering fluids that meet Honda's spec and must never use ATF. German cars must use Pentosin mineral oil that costs about $50 per litre. Some cars specify Dexron-III/Mercon ATF for their power steering systems like Nissan and Toyota. Just remember to NEVER use Ford Type-F ATF, only fluids that meet or exceed the Dexron-III/Mercon spec can be used as a substitute in vehicles that specify "power steering fluid". Never put power steering fluid in the transmission.

For a Dodge Ram 1500, you need to use ATF+4 for power steering fluid. ATF+4 is compatible in vehicles that used ATF+3 for power steering fluid.
