Thanks for the suggestion. I use and like Schaeffer products and ordered the one gallon container of All Trans Supreme last night.I would flush and refill power steering/hydro boost system with schaeffer's all trans supreme. power steering/hydroboost flush
I had watched that video on Tuesday night in preparation for flushing the power steering system and I basically did what was suggested. I was under some pressure to get the tractor and disc loaded up on Wednesday so rushed through the process. I don't think the ATF in the system was that bad and I probably should have kept on flushing but I'll get back to it soon and run the rest of the gallon through. It would have been good to have help so that I could watch the ATF level in the reservoir and to see the color of the ATF being pumped out.I found another video that goes over flushing power steering and power boost system. This might provide a better process for getting the job done. 7.3l Steering flush.
I towed the boat yesterday afternoon and the brakes are so much better now. They'll be even better once I have the new brake hoses installed, and have performed another flush of the power steering fluid.flushing the brake fluid once in a while is a VERY good idea. Keeps the calipers and hoses from falling apart, among other things. Most folks don't change fluid until it's time to replace parts...and even then it doesn't get flushed. ABS systems MUST be flushed periodically, if not the ABS motor assembly will fail sooner than it would if the fluid is flushed.
same for power steering and in this case, hydroboost. Flushing once in a while isn't terribly hard to do and saves parts failures. Systems work better too.
and coolant. Nobody ever changes coolant because "it's got a lifetime interval". Define lifetime. 50,000 miles or 40,000?
I do it once a year on all counts. My truck sits a lot and sitting isn't good for them, in some ways worse than actually using it. It may be sitting a lot more this year....I am no longer guiding, and having to really watch the pennies closer, as there are a lot fewer of them coming in now. May end up selling it.
FWIW, I added this filter in my return line after flushing the power steering. It is easy to remove and clean. NAPAA bit of an update on the brakes. They're the best they've ever been since I've owned this truck, and the KLM stainless steel braided brake lines shipped today. I ordered them on 6/9 and the website states "28 days minimum to manufacture" which is basically the time it took if you count working days.
The lines are shipping via USPS so will probably take a week to get here. I'll post a final update once the they're installed and I've used that fancy Motive brake bleeder again to purge all the air. I'm curious to see if the color of the brake fluid returns to clear once the 22 year old hoses are in the trash can.
I checked my local NAPA and it isn't stocked by them. This is what the online search came back with .......FWIW, I added this filter in my return line after flushing the power steering. It is easy to remove and clean. NAPA
