More on the steering box
Posted: Wed May 03, 2006 3:04 pm
Hello
I think that I am resigned to removing the steering box for a chance at fixing the drip. I have tried to be a bit more scientific in finding the drip. I wiped it clean and drove it and monitored the floor plan. Nothing. The next day, a few drips have run down the floor pan over-night. Just out of curiousity, I even parked the truck faceing down my sloped driveway. I even tried removing the fill plug at every stop and even overnight to see if releasing any pressure would make a difference. Each time, I wipe in the morning and it stays dry all day, then I check it the next morning and about three drops have left a trail from the driver's-side rear-most up-facing bolt. So, now, I am convinced that either chupacabras are at work or my truck has a bed-wetting problem.
Of course, this is timed with the selling of my Chevy. Damn chupacabras.
