Hey guys,
I have no real problems or complaints about my PS system, it is 12 years old. Makes a little noise, is noise'y(er) than i'd like it to be but other wise works pretty much as expected, also its a little bit more noise-y than it was when i first purchased it in 08 with 70,000 miles on it (now has nearly 160,000)
That said, from time to time when i do remove a pint of PSF and replace it with new and the noise tones down considerably for a few months.
I have been reading about several vehicles using ATF (older toyotas mostly...spec'd to DEX III but now that its gone they're using DEX VI)
It makes me wonder, is this truck 2004 silverado 150,000 a good idea to perhaps drain the power steering fluid out of it and run DEX VI ATF?
The "goal" is a quiet nearly silent, fluid, and smooth PS system that doesnt whine and hum and when i get to lock or near-lock...which is what its doing now.
