Another great video sir. This was a good P/S flush. I think it very thorough and was safe because you did not dry run the pump. About as good as you could have flushed it without an external pump. 👍🔧
There is no fear in running the pump dry for a short period of time. I ran the pump dry in my tundra for months (daily driving the truck) and it never blew up. I even put fluid back in before I sold it for scrap to see if it still worked and it did. But the rack leaked so badly I just let it run dry again. I probably put near 10k miles on that truck with no PS fluid.
@@volvo09 in my opinion, if it can be avoided, they should never be run dry. They are lubricated by the subversion on oil. It probably won't ruin it right away but it will start causing internal damage as soon as the bearings don't have the proper lubrication. You got very VERY lucky to have ran that long before seizure.
@@midnightrider1854 I used it as a test because I figured it would fail... I was totally ready to cut the belt while on the way to work some day, but it never happened... The truck made it to 300k miles and was exceptionally rusty, as reliable as it was... But I also had an old Ford Taurus that I bought used with a dry PS system and drove it home about 70 miles after all the fluid I put in at the prior owners yard leaked out in a few minutes, and that car never had any issues while I owned it once I fixed the hose, and when I later sold it to my grandfather who had it for many years. Maybe some pumps are more delicate, but I don't think they're thaaat delicate. I'll never fear doing a flush through the return line and letting it run out for a fraction of a minute. But, everyone's got a different opinion.
@@volvo09 I'm not saying that you are wrong in the aspect of the pumps being super sensitive. I'm just saying that, according to the manufacturers recommendation, and the physical design of the pumps, that they do require constant subversive lubrication for maximum protection. Now, have I ran them dry and refilled without future issues, hell yeah! But do I recommend to a customer of mine to just " go ahead and run 'er dry for a few days, she'll be 'ight"? Nope, nada, never gonna happen. For several reasons, the biggest being liability just incase. The second, is I would loose a repair doing that, and third, I have seen them get run dry for just a a few miles, just enough to whine, and after adding fluid the whining never went away. (Particularly on the older 90's ford pumps). But to be honest, I have never went as far as you have with running them dry and never heard of anyone else getting away with it that long either, so kudos and you should def play the lottery. Lol But they are not, generally, super sensitive.
Power steering pump flow is alot more than folks think. We used to disable the fuel or ignition and rotate the wheel while cranking the starter and a helper keeps the reservoir full.
Just cutting the wheel back and forth a couple times before starting works great I hate how people dry start pumps thinking it had to run or spin to suck fluid the rack does a good job at that by itself
@@toddhoneycutt228does moving the steering rack suck oil through the steering pump as well? Would turning the pump pulley by hand help anything? I'm going to be taking the belt off soon anyway so I could do that too
I replace the tank fluid once a year. Never had mechanical issues and leaks. Runs as good as new. Same with coolant and blake fluid changes. Zero leaks and breakdowns.
This shows you don't need anything fancy to get the job done. I use the Thornstone 2L Vacuum Bleeder instead of having to turn the wheels left/right to force the fluid out. This made flushing the fluids a breeze. Filled the reservoir with fresh fluid and used the vacuum to pull out the old and pull in the new fluid. This method introduces no air into the system.
After you Jack your vehicle up on stands and flush it till its clean, ( which hardly anyone does) you need to add a bit of Sea Foam power steering formula to break up varnish and make it like new. Putting on a magnetic fluid filter in the line is also good to help remove metal built up from not realizing your pump will wear out if you don't....and that is very expensive. Be sure to use the correct reccomended fluid your vehicle is designed to use, as they are not all the same. Watch other you tube videos prior to doing this correctly. Don't do it wrong , or you will be in a world of hurt. Side note to notice: car must NEVER BE RUNNING to do it, refill completely prior to starting and be sure all hoses are reconnected before you do. Ps...I don't work for Seafoam. be sure to use only their power steering product only, it makes all the difference in the world.
Those little pumps are worth the few bucks. I have 2 of them. One for filling trans other for filling diffs. If we are talking about the same ones. Orange body with a plunger on it?
Make sure to keep the reservoir topped off as you do this as not to introduce ait pockets. Best to jack the front tires up first and don't do it too fast or go all the way to lock and bang the wheel hard or it'll make a mess. Smooth back and forth motions will move the fluid through the system. Make sure to use the right fluid too. Lots of brands take brake fluid and not a generic power steering fluid.
Power steering systems are one of the most neglected systems in cars and trucks. I flushed PS systems a small number of times my entire career, maybe a dozen. Was a very hard upsell. Most power steering systems are very robust and can last the entire life of the car with little to no servicing.
Nope, I would say you should change power steering fluid same time you change brake fluid but again people don't do that nearly enough either. These people have cars with sloppy steering and slack brakes.
Don't do this. Waste of time and you're going to make a mess. Pump the old fluid out with an old shampoo or soap pump until empty. Replace with new fluid. Start the car and turn the wheel back/forth 10 times. Empty the reservoir again and refill. Do this as many times as you want.
This ain’t actually the best way. The best way is to disconnect the return line, and with the car on and moving the wheel continue to add fluid until it comes out clean. It’ll take like 5mintues. You never want to run the system dry cause then it’ll destroy the pump.
Remove the return line because most the fluid is in the power steering rack. Then start the car so the pump is spinning now move the wheels lock to lock that means turn the wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left that will push the old fluid out of the rack and the pump will pump all the old fluid out of the lines. When the pumps empty and making noise add some new fluid and keep doing this until the fluid comes out clean from the return line.
I do hundreds of power steering services a year on every make and model (including one with EPSF Systems). This is all fine and dandy for TH-cam but no this is not correct. As soon as the car starts and you turn to the lock all the fluid will be just as dirty. There is no way you’re getting all the fluid out without turning the vehicle on to engage the power steering pump. Nice for TH-cam not practical.
It's not only youtube, I'm mechanical Engineer and working on cars, when it's been steered lock to lock it will push all the fluid our and suck the new fluid, I have detailed video and I took took a sample from return fluid, it was same like new even after starting the engine You can watch it if you want
No need to remove and install the hoses. Just emphty and refill the reservoir. Start the engine and fill the oil to the mark on the reservoir. Repeat this a few times until the oil is clear, simple as that.
Because you’re mixing the new fluid and dirt fluid together so it will never been properly cleaned. We use to do this at a shop I worked at but I would never do that at on my own cars. Just do it the right way and you won’t have to do it awhile.
@@moemoe48210 gotta crawl your hands behind the engine to get to the 3 coils behind. But you get used to it an do it faster on the second try. I'm keeping mine parked at 150k zero problems since 100k and they're quick lol

Have fun buying a new res in 2 months. Cleaners like that break down plastics. What did you think that NO ONE could figure out to spray a res out? And what about what's in the lines themselves? Didn't clean that part.
Beautifully done. I work at a quick lube shop that does power steering flushes. The machines we use do basically the same thing as this. It's just more expensive and a tad easier. But if I can afford the fluid and work but not a machine. I can totally do this. Great job.

funny
I love the mech’s who do a flush and fail to cycle the rack lock to lock… it’s sad how many people don’t understand how the system works.
You are genious my man
Get yourself a $50 fluid extractor man. It keeps a clean work and you can even use it on oil or brake as well.

Power steering in my car is electric so need for maintaince, just wait for the motor to fail and take the hit.
