Whats the best way to flush your power steering box ??? I think it had some water in it or something, because after I hooked everything up and put all new fluid in it, ran it a while to purge the air bubbles the fluid looked like chocolate milk. Is the box bad ( or need rebuilt ) or can it be saved ?
Also replaced the pump with new... I even drove the truck about 25 miles but it didn't seem to even have power steering, whats up...
Thanks Jim

you can flush it by taking the return hose off the pump and into a drain bucket. try not to let the pump run dry. To purge the bubbles keep turning the wheels lock to lock with the motor running. It's easier with it on jack stands. Try that and see if it's still stiff.
