Thanks Russell. The back of my mind keeps telling me there is no "snake oil" fix.
Twenty bucks for a hose is cheap. I thought if I took out the inner fender it would be easy to get to. You want to work on my truck? |
We could do it after work one day next week.

Using ATF isnt "snake oil". ATF and power steering fluid are identical in base properties. Swelling polymers with fluid is a technology that has been around for many years and we use it extensively in oil/gas wells as well as a lot of o-rings you see are designed to do the same. I'm not trying to discourage you from getting a new hose John. Just wanted you to understand that swelling polymers is not a "fix it in a can" or "snake oil", its a normal chemical and polymer reaction that doesnt hurt anything. It makes my company over $300M a year. :) Anywho, if the hoses are that cheap and easy to change on these newer trucks then by all means get a new hose. :up2:

I understand what you are telling me Tracy, And it makes sense.

Any Bets? Maybe it could be on the casino section! |
*Update*
Been using Synthetic ATF for a week now. It is still leaking. I went to the dealer today and purchased the high pressure line that goes from the power steering pump to the brake booster. Real busy this weekend, Dont know if I will get to it. |
You might want to run your VIN at the dealer. There was a recall for the booster to pump steering lines. I can't remember the specifics or the years. There's a julian date on the hose you need to find.
Or PM me your VIN and I can run it. |
Thanks, I have the line. The dealer did not mention a recall.
|
so whos going to change it out for ya
|
I am going to try to do it today.
