I remember that fight! I was so mad that he took away Ali's title. My mom & I used to watch Ali fight all the time. I didn't watch much boxing after that. They both were excellent fighters.

Did my steering fluid flush today. Thank you to Bill and Steve for answering all of my annoying questions about something that, in hindsight, was very easy

Is there a write up on that somewhere? I should probably do that as well.

I did improve the noise a bit, but did not eliminate it. But thats ok. The big improvement was in the pedal. Its very firm now, I like!

I noticed that too. But it didn't last too long. I need brake pads anyway.

Did you add the filter?

I need new pads too..

And I didnt add a filter, but I also didnt use synthetic fluid. So maybe some day down the road I will redo it with synthetic and add a filter. But for now I'm pleased

I didn't add one either. I don't need another thing to maintain. Beside, it is easy to add anytime, and has nothing to do with the flush.

Is the power steering flush procedure the same for the 6.0L?
