[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 626222, member: 6317"] The ATF vs. Power Steering Fluid thing depends on the pump and box you're using. Some have seals that don't deal with ATF very well...or vice versa. I've been running the run of the mill Valvoline Power Steering Fluid you can buy at any local parts store. If you pull up TG's site or PSC's you will typically find a note recommending full synthetic OR standard fluid. Being that I would prefer not to blow a line and pour $75 (wild ass guess) worth of fluid all over the rocks I choose to run standard fluid. I just ran my rig all day at Harlan...on the toughest trails there in 75+ temps. Keep in mind I also have a turbo under my hood which aggravates the temps. There was no whining, squealing, loss of power, etc. Just because full synthetic is "better" doesn't mean its for everyone. The tractor hydro fluid can become a problem in cold weather too depending on the weight (viscosity) of the fluid. [/QUOTE]
