URGENT question!

Hey everyone,
I'm sort of low on power steering fluid and don't want to drive the car as a result - I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to dump some NON nissan steering fluid in there? All the dealerships are closed so I can't get a straight answer

Please let me know.. I've got some mopar here and will be checking regularly.

Thx,
Jer

It's in your Owner Manual, Jer. Look in the Do-it-yourself section or use the Index.

Jeez, mzmgt, your sig is just a wee bit vitriolic, don't you think? Fortunately, it does serve to point out the truth of an age-old adage:

It's better to give a resentment than to get a resentment!

Thanks for being willing to stand in harm's way to preserve and defend this great nation of ours. And good luck to you.

Why does everyone think I wrote that?

I didnt. Hogan wrote that. Not me. Read my whole sig, start to finish...

I'm not in the Marines, but I am doing my part to protect Americans around the world.

That's interesting. Why would a moderator publish that tripe?

To make sure everyone here knows what kind of person Hogan is and why he's been banned for the second time.

Re: Re: URGENT question!

Heh, I'm stupid - I did just that an hour or so ago! Thanks for pointing it out though lol!
I've been up since Tuesday morning 6:15am - been doing my blower install since.

Now I'm stuck with one last detail : where the f@#% is the fuel pump relay Post to follow, but the manual that came with the blower shows different from what I'm seeing in my car - going to tap into the ignition for now - I'm thinking it's diff because I'm a Canadian SE!

Time to plunk the bottom covers back on and go for a trip! This thing sounds nice so far hehe.

Sleepily yours,
Jer

(PS. If anyone wants to feed me any info re. fuel pump relays on Y2K/Y2K1 max's, please feel free to do so )

That makes sense. But I'd recommend you mention the fact that he's been banned at the bottom of the sig. Otherwise people might get the wrong impression.
