well as you all know tommorrow is friday which means my account magically get money put into it, which means its time to dump more money into the hog, im doing my power steering pressure line tommorow and a caliper on the other ride, but my uestion is, what should i put back in the pump, just plain old power steering fluid? or i have heard of using atf4? let me know.

 

either one, but don't mix them.

our trucks originally came with regular power steering fluid. somewhere along the way, there was a TSB that approved/recommended replacing it with atf+4, but it said not to mix them.

 

Aww, gee, thanks.

I bought Mopar PS fluid a couple months ago and topped mine off.
Glad I only put in a couple ounces.

 

thanks for reminding me. i have to take my pay check to he bank to deposit it today.

i use motor oil in my power steering pump but i have a leaking gear box or had a leaking gear box.

 

I'm surprised ATF 4+ has been recommended or OK'd for the power steering system. The stuff I've been using is more of a thick, glycerin type solution that works well and is far less expensive than ATF 4+.

 

you use guiness in you power steering?

 

i had a buddy that used like 75 or 80-w90 instead of ps fluid

 

with a lot of confusing double talk, the TSB says 94-01 came with regular ps fluid (MS5931) and should not be topped off with atf+4 (MS9602).

it also says that if "older models" are drained and flushed for service, then it "should" be refilled with atf+4 (MS9602) (probably because its more expensive LOL).

i interpret this as either is ok, just don't mix them.

also the jeep WJ/WG and ZH vehicles use unique power steering fluids due to the hydraulic fan thing-a-majig and cannot use any of the normal fluids. those who try it have to buy a lot of very expensive replacement parts.
