I thought that I would bring this around to the top again because I want to figure out why my power steering squeels when turning left only.
I know, I know, just make right turns!

Well, I finally checked it...never been changed...never been checked after the ProCharger install...you definite have to wait until the area is cool, but it really isn't that hard to get to and out, however, I would suggest cleaning all areas surronding the cap really well before removing it because crap will fall in then and when replacing it and you can't clean when the cap is off for the same reason.
The fluid level was fine...however, after 184k miles on the same PS fluid, I chose to change it while I had the dipstick out. I used the syringe that I use to change out my ProCharger oil with and sucked out all of the old PS fluid, replacing it with the expensive *** Lucas product. The Lucas product is way too thick for the syringe so I just aimed and squeezed...all was good until that thickness of that stuff being forced out the small hole in the spout forced the cap right off the bottle. Luckily I was almost finished so I didn't have that much of a mess. So, cut the majority of the spout off when opening if you plan on using this stuff.
The squeeling that I have always had to some degree when turning to the left...GONE!

As far as changing the procharger oil, I made a long steel braided tube that screws into where the drain plug is, with a plug on the bottom I can just drain the oil from the bottom of my truck. Now I have to service the head unit with 7oz of oil, but it is alot easier and less messy!

The braided tube is a good idea.
Did you guys bother to move your positive battery "jump start" connection? I am eventually going to go back and mount it in the left wheel well, so I can get to it without popping the hood.
