Changing fluids

[xplorer.sport]

Well I need to kick my ass into high gear and change my fluids soon.

Im thinking of flushing of just draining the coolent and reserve, swaping out the tranny fluid and filter, and power steering.

But for the power steering fluid can I just suck out the fluid and add new ATF then ride the truck for awhile doing sharp turns then suck it all out again and refill. I just want to get out as much of the old stuff instead of flushing it.

My PS fluid and tranny fluid are a gross brown colour.

BTW, Awsome forum. Lots of different makes and models

Yes, that's a perfectly acceptable way to flush. Obviously, you won't get it all (a "real" flush doesn't get it all either), but it's a heckofa lot better than running on the old stuff.
