I can’t remember exactly why. I don’t think it was leaking, but it made some noise as I recall. The first time I used an after market pump. You’re supposed to turn the wheels stop to stop to clear the air, but the first pump never did work right. I put in an OEM Ford pump and that’s been OK. <div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><div class="">
