Power steering fluid?

[rhinoboss]

Is there power steering fluid in the 2021 TB? I keep hearing this whining and I am thinking it might be low on fluid.

 

[rhinoboss]

Is this where it's filled?

How are your brakes? Is the pedal mushy or same as always?

 

[rhinoboss]

Brakes seem to be same as always

 

[Blueicebob]

Brakes and PS work out of the same booster

I was reading it could possibly be a torq converter also.

Side note - I cannot seem to find where to add PS fluid? I don't think this truck has any.

Okay, thanks. One last question because I am slow - The PS and Brakes work off the same booster and that pic I posted is where I pour the Dot 4 Brake fluid?

 

[Blueicebob]

Yes. Is the fluid low?

This guy's. Our trucks use electronic steering so there is no power steering fluid in our trucks.

On the subject of shared fluid that would be CLUTCH fluid and BRAKE fluid. Since we have automatic transmissions we do not have a clutch nor clutch fluid needs. That circled cap is for the brake fluid only.

Was that a test? lol I’m sure it caught some of you sleeping

Thanks for the confirmation. Well, I suppose I will just wait till the next oil change and ask then.

Thanks for the reply, my truck is in lockup now (the shop). I don't get these shops, you make a schedule, drop it off, and then it just sits until they are ready to work on it.

I understand the workload and all, however, you should be able to "save your place in line". Then when they free up or close to it, they should be able to call you to drop the truck off. That is who I work with the marine techs and my boat.

Dropped it off first thing in the morning yesterday, no update. I called in this morning, they said the truck has been looked at and MIGHT go into the shop on Monday. Eghha, I am tired of these new trucks always breaking down.
