hydro steering fluid?

FullThrottle89 · Dec 24, 2012

Wondering what u guys r running in your hydro systems. I have researched it and found many different suggestions. I have a psc orbital, tsc 2x8 ram, and factory PS pump.

X2 I was running Amsoil hydro fluid and they said to dump it and buy the cheapest **** I could find at the parts house. No problems since.

i've been running the amsoil for a few years, what issues were yall have'n? my pumps seem like they get weak over time.

Gm power steering fluid. Some of the better fluid around and easily accessible at your dealership.

I run the same fluid I run in my rockwells, that way when your steering fluid gets low, hold a can under your axles, they will be dripping somewhere, and fill her back up!

No problems yet. Just a new system. Wanted to do it right the first time.

Im running standard r&o hydraulic from tsc with a 12" log cooler never gets over 150 degrees.

I run Mopar ATF+4 with the original dodge pump from 89 with 229000 miles on it. I'm sure a new pump would do better but it doesn't give me any problems.

ISO46 weight Hyrdaulic fluid. I will never go back to PS fluid or expensive synthetics. If it gets too hot, get a bigger cooler. Don't expect a magic fluid to fix an underdesigned cooling system.
