Steering box question
On a manual steering box...what type lube (ex:gear oil, etc.) is used and how is it introduced into the steering box. I don't see a removeable plug to fill it. Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.:-X11

Steering box question
It's really complex.
The manual says that the lubricant in it lasts for the life of the steering gear.
I can send you the instructions if you like.
It talks about removing an inspection shield and turning the gear,then looking in a hole for lubricant,first one dircetion ,then the other.
Sounds cool huh ? :P

Yo Dennis, Yea does sound complex
. I guess I better not open a can of worms. My steering is kinda tight. It's not power assisted but still, I don't think it should be that tight. I mean I'm over twice the age of this truck and I ain't that squeeky.
Hey but thanks for your input.
