, my wife thought she'd be funny and make me think I was banned . We got a good laugh about it but now i can't change my name back to INFERNAL . I tried and it tells me this :

I've been neglecting the Macho Taco for too long now . Haven't wheeled it since Thanksgiving weekend and it's been sitting with a wasted steering box since , so I finally got around to working on it . The steering box I had on it originally I bought used and lasted a few trips to The Hammers before going out . Then I got a second one from my buddy Troy and it went on it's first trip out . I made a stupid mistake

when I was putting that one on and put brake fluid in the box thinking it was power steering fluid

. Luckily I realised it right away and drained it but didn't flush the box or the lines so I'm thinking that's what ruined the seals . I bought a remanufactured box this week and I mounted it up today . TDS is in 2 weeks so I'm getting it ready , I still need to buy a new steering arm .

you do know power steering fluid in a toyota box is bad?? your supposed to use Dextron ATF, something about pwr steering fluid eats the toyota seals, or makes them too soft.

my box worked great till i made the same mistake, poured in pwr steering fluid and now it leaks like a kitchen strainer

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #2867 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 09:50:39 AM »

I have always used ATF in mine as well..... I didnt know anything about power steering fluid being bad for them I just know ATF is wayyy cheaper.... hopefully this box lasts a little longer huh? $Beer Chug\'n$

toyotanner · « **Reply #2868 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 11:47:01 AM »

alls i got to say is i used to use ATF in my power steering until i saw pics of my buddys jeep that burned to the ground because of an atf leak in his power steering.... now i use power steering fluid because its not flammable

flammable true, but unless the jeep friend was running a toyota steering box he needed to run pwr steering fluid, cause thats what jeeps like

Really ? . Hmm , I had no idea . So do you think I should drain it ?

Ramrod · « **Reply #2871 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 12:02:32 PM »

ya they always leak with PS fluid, I think they usually say on the cap of the ifs trucks to use atf

iNfErNaL · « **Reply #2872 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 12:40:20 PM »

Wow , i never knew that . Thanx guys , looks like I'll be draining it this weekend then , so just run ATF ?

Yes, Toyota FSM calls for ATF only....

I have seen a box with new seals start leaking within days after it was filled with PS fluid...its very common

iNfErNaL · « **Reply #2874 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 12:57:08 PM »

Damit ! ! ! , I need to drain that thing ASAP then . $Beer Chug\'n$

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #2875 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 01:32:19 PM »

I use synthetic power steering fluid and have had no issues. The Valvoline Syn fluid is rated for Toyota's.

Ramrod · « **Reply #2876 on:** Feb 23, 2009, 01:52:47 PM »

yup atf is like half the price also so its the way to go, Id look into some hydro assist also it would help with the steering breakage problems and doesnt cost

, maybe not to you but it does to me . I know what i need to do to it but just didn't have the money at the time . I def wanna add hydro assist but that'll be down the road
