Regular PS fluid is fine.

Well, should have probably done that project a while ago. Completely fixed the sloppy steering. After refilling and bleeding the fluid still look a bit nasty so I may end up trying to flush some of that out in the near future as well.

Not too bad of a project, with some heat the pitman arm came off and only broke one line that ran from steering box to cooler.

Make sure you finish the flush when you get a chance. I replaced my factory box with a redhead around 4 years ago and it's still tight today running 35" tires.
