Good morning Jim, Dennis, and all the rest.
I hope we get the rain they are forecasting for tonight, we need it!
I need to change the rear diff oil and flush the power steering fluid today.
The grass needs a cutting also.

I am not sure if your truck is different with hyrdoboost, but on mine i traced the two lines that go from the resevoir to the cooler, and they have a connection right inbetween the radiator and front springs. just disconnected them both, let it drain, cycled the wheels a whole bunch of times with the engine off to puke out all the fluid. then reconnected, added fluid and cycled until i purged out all the air and the level stayed the same. test drive, fluid check and done

They say to just pull the return line off the hydroboost and add a 3/8" hose.
Then just keep the reservoir full and turn the wheel and pump the brakes to flush it out.
