Still remember even with the filter you still need to change the fluid every 30k miles. Then while you're there might as well change the filter. I've got to ask what did you pay for the filter?

 

Yes, good advice, I will continue to change the fluid on schedule. The filter was $18.99 plus tax. They only had one in stock so I ordered another one for the '91. The Ford conversion already has one in the remote reservoir, it holds 3 quarts. I jacked it off one of my old IHC log trucks that was culled.

Actually driver seat. (Strange flip of the picture) When it's over 90*F outside you park in the sun trapped with the truck running so you have A/C and trying to work the website from the center console and smack out replies isn't exactly comfortable. Now I'm at home and comfortable in my big chair and normal keyboard and mouse. :)

As for the power steering system, I don't see any problem with doing a filter just remember this will need to be changed with the fluid every 30k miles. As for the drain plug if there was a way to drill and tap a plug in would be awesome it sure would make short work of drain, flush and fill. All I can say is the 30k mark worked out good for my steering box it was spotless inside no sludge and no serious wear at all just the input seal failed from rust particles. Kind of like my next problem of getting reservoir seal for my power steering pump. Rubber is starting to degrade... Ugh!

Installed the same filter in my '91 today, D-250 no hydro. I drained the pump out of the pressure line, turned the wheel lock to lock several times to purge the steering box and refiled, no flush. I started with a new quart of fluid and used 26 ounces, so it is a smaller system then the '01.

I couldn't stand the suspense so I picked up a new filter. I just pulled the old one off and it is not bad at all. I guess changing the fluid fairly regular kept it cleaner than I thought. I wonder if a guy could just wash the filter insert and reuse it, maybe at least once? I have about 1k miles on it.
