"Turkey baste" the fluid out of the reservoir. Pour in new fluid. Start truck and turn steering wheel lock to lock(all the way left and all the way right) a few times. Don't hold the steering wheel at lock for more than a few secs(ever). Lets say 2 secs to be safe. This cycles the fluid. Few days later of driving, I do the process again. One more time a few more days later. Maybe even one more time. You now have pretty much fresh fluid in the entire system. Some shops will "turkey baste" the reservoir and add fluid then call it "flushed" or "changed". (Same goes for "changing" the brake fluid.) Don"t waste your hard eared money. 5 bucks for fluid and 2 bucks for a turkey baster. I know of many that have never changed their PS fluid for the life of their vehicle and everything runs fine. I did this earlier this year on my 10yr old Trac. It was pretty stinky and dirty. Nice to know you have fresh fluids all around.</p></blockquote><p></p>
