Thankyewvurrymuch!Dude that is a great idea to spin that pump. No need to wait for it to whine and start/stop the engine.

then how much fluid gets in there?Well, I just remember I actually have a .pdf users' manual for 1997 Tahoes and there is a list of fluids and lubricants in page 7-49: power steering pump should use "GM Power Steering Fluid (GM Part No. 1052884 - 1 pint, 1050017 - 1 quart, or equivalent)".
Not even GM seems to know. The "capacities" listed in the PS section of my '97 GM C/K service manual lists only the part number, and specification number of the recommended fluid.then how much fluid gets in there?
Old eyes, I thought number 6 said redneck connections.a different procedure from probably a different gm manual.

Thank goodness for my MityVac. I just suck the fluid out of the reservoir, refill, and repeat the next couple weekends. Or every oil change just suck the fluid out of the reservoir and refill.
I bought 4 liters of Ravenol PSY-F. Would be better if I got another liter.then how much fluid gets in there?
I have yet to see anything besides the old fashion way work well when it comes to bleeding brakes. For coolant I pull the lower hose, or if I’m serious remove the knock sensor. For everything else the MityVac is cleaner and quicker. I do use it to suck the old brake fluid out of the reservoir when bleeding brakes…..I've tried that with power steering, brakes, and equivalently a filter only change and refill on the trans. That method sucks for all 3. Even a coolant purge I prefer to drain the block.
