As iron sharpens iron...
Ok, but my system still has issues so until I get them worked out I am just running regular hydro fluid for testing.
Secondly, in one of the other threads (pretty sure it was Joops) you guys talked about getting the hose and fittings from Williams and building your own hoses. I
Use what's called reusable fittings. They screw together and usually exceed the crimped fittings but also cost a bit more. As the name implies you can also reuse them if you make changes.

And yes, What is the best way to flush the system?
I had Napa build me hydro lines. They are the crimp type with the weatherhead hose that has the steel mesh inside. Works good so far. I would assume its expesive either way you go.

if this were me id do the following:
add a tank of clean fluid to feed the PUMP three times the system capacity at least.
disconnect the return line from the valve to the resevoir and dump into a dirty container. or filter and return to the supply.
set this up so it can be ran with out spraying oil everywhere.
have someone monitor the clean supply while cycling the steering from lock to lock multiple times till at least three times the system capacity has been flushed thru.
It would be even better if you could heat the fluid to around 200 degrees as hot oil cleans better.
drain system completely
restore system to normal add new fluid.
with that said i have never done this on a steering system but i have on many small hyd systems.

Parts are made in Alabama huh? I will give him a call since I am fed up with PSC.
Does everyone agree with this procedure? Seems like the pump could go dry.

I PMed and called Sean at POS but no answer yet. His shop is about 20 min from my inlaws house. I may swing by his place in September when I am down there.
sean is a good guy and knows his ****....I went psc because sean was so backed up when I did my truckI bought a complete system from him, put napa hydraulic oil in it and got steering before my engine ran. I ran the same napa hydro fluid for a year and a half with no issues.
Sean used to run pos full time, But the economy tanked so he has a second income now. Give him time, He will call back. Id be blow away if you have a 5 minute conversation with him.
