Re: Project Family Chummins

[QUOTE=Ackattack;5953268]I did some reading about dodge's hydroboost puking out fluid and bleeding the system, and I was thinking I had pretty much covered all of those bases. And got me to thinking.....my power steering cooler is about 12" long, and mounted vertically. Well when I'd turn the engine off is when it would puke out a bunch of power steering fluid. So it dawned on me that maybe all of this extra fluid was the cooler draining back into the reservoir (after I wasted a half a quart of fluid). So I rearranged the cooler, had my lovely assistant help me bleed it by steering back and forth and applying the brakes and it all looked good. Took it out for a spin and it all works great! Its SOOOO much nicer driving it with power steering that consistantly works...not to mention safer.

Ackattack - Just got done reading your build thread and like what you have done. I am having the same issues with my Hydraboost puking. I don't have an external cooler but would you please expand on how to bleed this system. Thanks.

Also, I like your wheel and tire choices. I ordered up the same size tire and wheels. How do you like the Toyo A/T 2s? I ordered up the A/Ts (they were about 200 dollars less.
