Glad to hear of your good experience. I live about 70 miles from there and have been looking for a shop to do this for me. If you don't mind, how much did they charge to do the swap?

There’s no dedicated power steering pump like a car. There’s a hydraulic pump that runs off the engine which powers the steering among other things.

Richard, I know what steering box I have--it's a M100PLG3, don't I have to measure the offset of the pittman arm or something?

That makes sense to me Craig. The oils that Monaco used are all over the place so it makes sense that it's not critical.

That's interesting.

The TRW link Crazyknight posted says 40 weight oil is good, but 30 weight isn't approved. I think AW-46 is equivalent of 20 weight oil.

My dynasty came with AW46 to run the radiator fan and the power steering. They seemed to use both AW-46 and Dex III indiscriminately. I wonder why a Sheppard box can use it and a TRW can't. That...
