I did my flush the other day and I did notice an improvement, but then I knew my fluid was in decent shape. Still, it does drive nicer for sure, and took about 10-15 minutes with my g/f turning the wheel & pumping the brakes.

Oh boy do I feel stupid, but....
Nah, on second thought, I'm gonna pretend I already knew that there's a connection between the steering and the brakes, but that I just forgot what it was. Would somebody, uh, refresh my, uh, memory? Help an aging old fella out please?

I just flushed mine out last nite as it had PS fluid in it from when I get the oil changed and was causing some serious steering issues as well... afterward is like a new truck driving and definitely awesome on the brakes, they really respond a whole lot better. Just be careful where ur hose is when you are flushing it as mine got loose and sprayed the truck ground and everything around it
but none the less I got it done and def worth the 20 bucks and little bit of time it took.....Thanks again Rick and Marv

I did try it. I got a quart or so out but I am still not sure whether it worked or not. That is why I want to see if others have tried it and had good luck with it.

Thanks for starting this thread Pat. it motivated me to do mine.
Done it last night, and no more whine from the power steering pump.
I payed $ 7.49 a quart for Mobil 1 synthetic ATF, was that a good price ?
