The Official 2nd Gen RAM Forum OT thread
I call it weasel ****, you won't find it on my self or in my tool box. Its a missed used product by most, just like duct tape. I do see they have a few new products in their line now that still use the WD-40 on the can but are for different purposes, stupid idea. People don't read labels anymore they will just grab the first can that says WD-40.

As far as ATF in the power steering pump, it will NEVER hurt any Dodge or Ford power steering pump prior to 2003, in fact, it is recommended by both Ford and Dodge if you dig deep enough. Ford had a nasty problem of pump seals failing in the late 80s and early 90s, the problem wasn't the seal, but that people used PS fluid, not ATF. Put ATF in it, no matter how bad the leak, and it will seal up, given enough time.
I've been running ATF in the Dodge PS pump now, huge difference in temperatures and feel. I put DexMerc ATF in it, as that's what I was using in the tranny (BTW use ATF+3 in a 1996 Dodge Ram unless you know what you are doing), and the feel in the steering was awesome, it made sooo much less noise, and stayed waaaaay cooler.
So don't worry about putting ATF in your PS pump, it will NOT hurt it, PS fluid WILL hurt it. The only PS fluid I use in my pumps IF I have to is NAPA Performance PS fluid, it is thinner and much better than others, but it still doesn't beat ATF.

And you actually have awesome steering feel? Mine is heavy. lmao
From the article:
I guess reading isn't a skill taught or encouraged in Texass schools.
As bizarre as this sounds, accumulating hail is not uncommon in the High Plains.
Northeast New Mexico sits in what meteorologists call "Hail Alley", a swath from southeast Wyoming and northeast Colorado to northeast New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, where large hail falls on average at least three days a year. A common late spring and early summer occurrence is accumulating hail, sometimes to the magnitude of a couple of inches, in northeast Colorado, often including the Denver metro.
This is due, in part, due to higher elevation. The less depth of warm air for a hailstone to fall through, the greater the chance of it reaching the ground before melting. Santa Rosa, N.M. lies at 4,616 feet above sea level.

And I was homeschooed you ***.
Either way, the other question that remains is how does anything survive that?
Wow. That explains everything.
Just FYI - The earth isn't 6,000 years old
