+Alex C, I cannot reply to your comment directly for some reason. I did the test after the flush while I was driving. It was quiet (which I mentioned at 5:50). The focus of this video was to show people how to completely flush their power steering system rather than just quiet it with an additive like in the last video. Make sense? And to answer your question directly, the noise is gone. There is still a little noise while the steering wheel is being turned at idle but nothing noticeable and still way better than when I bought the truck.

Air Bleeding 1. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir up to the "MAX" position with specified fluid. 2. Jack up the front wheels. 3. Disconnect the ignition coil high tension cable(or remove the fuel pump fuse.. same thing), and then, while operating the starter motor intermittently (for 15 to 20 seconds), turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right five or six times 1a. When bleeding fluid, replenish with the fluid so that the level does not fall below the bottom of the filter. 2a. If air bleeding is done while the vehicle is idling, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid. Be sure to do the bleeding only while cranking. 3a Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to either side for more than ten seconds. 4a Confirm that the fluid is not milky and that the level is between "MAX" and "MIN" mark on the reservoir. Check that there is a little change in the fluid level when the steering wheel is turned left and right. 1. If the fluid level varies 15mm (5.9 in) or more, bleed the air in the system again. 2. If the fluid level suddenly rises after stopping the engine, further bleeding is required. 3. Incomplete bleeding will produce a chattering sound in the pump and noise in the flow control valve, and lead to decreased durability of the pump. Good video but I suggest you do not start the car to force air pockets into the power steering fluid.

+gereral1 Injectors are still firing when you disable the fuel pump!. Much better to just pull the EFI fuse which disables fuel pump AND injectors. And also remove spark plugs when cranking... easier on the starter motor, battery and provides slightly faster cranking to spin up the PS pump.

Awesome video as always 😁👌. Only one thing I would add. If you buy a foot of power steering hose, you can attach it to the return hose fitting and toss both hoses in an empty jug. This will eliminate a great deal of mess, when you flush the fluid by turning the steering wheel. Makes sure the bottle is clear, so you can see when the new fluid begins to flow. Great video Chris 🤝.
@boots7859

For most people nowadays, you might want to just disconnect the return line at the reservior. Drain reservior, then block it off. Put hose end into your drain container, and either turn lock to lock with wheel off the ground or use starter to spin the PS pump, just try to not allow it to start. Helps to have a helper keeping the PS res filled here. Do this until the PS fluid from the hose is clear or red, or whatever. Make sure you are turn lock to lock while draining to get all that fluid out. Then just reconnect everything, top off, start up and do lock to lock 5-6 times, check/re-top off, and then safe test drive.

Hence your turkey baster idea has really helped me, thanks!

A couple of years ago, I added the poor man's quick-n-dirty version of a flush and fill for the brake fluid and power steering fluid to my annual fall maintenance. I use a turkey baster as shown in your other video to empty the reservoir and I refill it with fresh fluid for a half flush. It removes half of the particulate contaminates and half of the dissolved water from the hygroscopic fluids. The solution to pollution is dilution. It should be easier and cleaner this year. I bought a MityVac hand operated vacuum pump.

Thanks for the great video. I tried an alternate method because I don’t have a lift, nor did I want to disconnect any hoses. I bought an 8 dollar siphon kit at Walmart. 2 bottles of generic fluid and 2 small bottles of high quality synthetic fluid. My fluid actually looked like chocolate milk. I siphoned out as much as I could and then filled it with the generic fluid. I capped it, started the car and turned the wheel several times. I shut it off and repeated the fill and siphon process several times (along starting and turning wheel). I went through the whole 2 quarts of generic fluid before it started to run clear. I siphoned it one last time and then added the synthetic fluid. Car runs perfect now. The whine every time I turned was getting quite loud and embarrassing.

TIP. - if your adding fluid to your reservoir and it gets air locked before it begins to run out of the return line, simply disable the ignition system and crank the engine a few seconds to cycle the fluid through the system. Refill the reservoir and repeat untill you see clean fluid coming out the return line. I did that on my 93 mustang and just unplugged the ignition wire to the distributor to disable the ignition. Worked well for me.

Doubt many ppl will see this comment, but I found another cheap device that works better than the turkey baster at sucking up the old fluid. Some while back, I watched Chris's brake fluid flush videos and bought a turkey baster for the removal of the old fluid. The issue I ran into was when lifting the baster out of the reservoir. As soon as the baster is lifted out of the fluid, it immediately starts streaming out. It makes a mess if you aren't real fast at moving the baster to your empty bottle... Anyway, I started using those disposable plastic hand pumps that come in tall bottles of hand sanitizer and hand soap. The length of them with the plastic straw they have is a good 6 or 8" long. They're made to pump liquid that is a bit thicker than water, and so far they seem to work perfectly for transferring old automotive fluids.

Oh my gosh... After watching some of your flushing vids I want to go home and do all three vehicles and my motorcycle. Just because! It's eye candy or crack for gear-heads.

I’m still amazed you found this truck with a 4.0 liter 4x4 and factory 4.10 gears.

I used a brake bleed kit to the hose flowing into the reservoir and vacuum the system that way while adding new oil to the reservoir. I plugged the reservoir inlet valve with a ear plug so the new oil won’t flow out while vacuuming the system.

If you have a leak on the high pressure side you will see fluid when it's running. If you have a leak on the low pressure side you were here at the pump cavitating that means it's making a whining noise. This should help you find any leaks and loss of fluid within your power steering system.

Marvel mystery oil is awesome for getting old gunk out and you can use it in power steering fluid as an additive

Return line is the high pressure line. feeder line is the suction line or low pressure line

Hey Chris, I am a big fan of your videos. I just recently bought a 2000 Mazda B3000 with extended cab, basically yours in another color. I bought it used, I was wondering what all you have done on your truck since you got it? I have also thought that it might a cool idea to post some videos about each of your cars, and include info such as why you like it, basic maintenance, issues with it, and overall just a general review. I look forward to more Chrisfix videos. Thanks!

Went to do this on my ponti Grand Prix and GM decided it'd be smart to put the reservoir behind the engine and below the alternator. Looks like it's gonna be the quick flush. Wish me luck it's gonna be messy

Super helpful Chris. Those uniform wearing knuckleheads at auth workshops are useless kids. You make it look so easy. I did for my Accord 2.4 AT exl 👍

Great video many thanks! Why pay a mechanic hundreds to do something you can do yourself for less and you educate yourself and learn more about your vehicle and how to maintain them. My 1995 205 needed a flush and i was quoted £100, I can get 5 liters of atf for £20 and do it myself, also i live a 5 minute walk from a recycling center so i can take it up there to dispose of properly. Money saved!

About 6 months ago, on my 1991 Explorer, I replaced my power steering fluid with Mercon V ATF. The difference in steering was amazing. Firmer feel and more control. Not sure it it works for your car but it worked for me.

Do you have a video on how to change out the pump ?? I believe my pump is shot and it's not swirling around like it should and how to disconnect the reservoir from the pump itself if I can't find a complete pump thank you again with your videos and help I was able to get my truck back on the road 😎😎😎
