RE: Power Steering Fluid?

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

I don't remember all the pros and cons I read, when searching the 
Internet... some said if you did a lot of driving the seals could break 
down, some said ATF does not perform as well as steering fluid once 
hot...

But then there were a lot saying the same thing you said.. I used it 
forever without a problem..

from what I can gather a switch was made in the early 60's from ATF to 
power steering fluid, but no definitive answer as to when.. so I thought 
it best to use whatever kind of fluid the shop manual said...

of course the shop manual is all about selling "Official" Mopar parts.. 
you'd think they would have the courtesy of saying "part no 2084329 
power steering fluid" or "part no 2084329 automatic transmission fluid" 
instead of "part no 2084329, and we're not telling what it is, fluid"
