cleaned my Volant today and oiled with the K & N air cleaner kit. noticeable improvement since there were leaves and ud in my air box and you couldnt tell the original color of the filter.

also, in an attempt to fix my shitty steering and belt squeal, i replaced both lines that run to the power steering reservoir, and cleaned and inspected the res. for cracks. i filled it back up with some power steering fluid and a bottle of the lucas oil steering additive.

that stuff is awesome!! steering is easier and hopefully it will work its way through the system and solve any other leaks i missed. the second i started the truck, i dry steered it lock to lock and it got easier with each try.

this is one snake oil that actually works. just add some power steering fluid if you are adding this stuff to an empty reservoir or system because it is thick and it needs to dissolve in power steering fluid.

... you know Erine.. most people drive there trucks, and ONLY check the fuilds... to a point where they might have to change it one day... .


I think you dont have to worry about that.. Your always breaking or replaceing something and not have to worry about checking the fuild to see if you need to change it.. lol
