It was confirmed it was new power Steering cooler was defective Took out power steering pump and contaminated Anti freeze. Might get new Part in Saturday no later than. Monday. These parts are very scarce due to supply chain shortages.

Tried bleeding power steering fluid this morning still no good. decided enough is enough and back tracked to a volvo dealer ship called transport equip. In spokane vally. They said the new power steering cooler may be defective .hope not we will see.

Finally made it to Post Falls Idaho spending the night at cabelas. Thinking we have put today's mechanical issues Behind Us. Wife went out to Truck Came running back in and told me. It was dumping dumping oil all over the ground again. This time it was ATF fluid coming from power steering reservoir. This stuff was erupting and was Foaming as it came out anybody out there. Have any ideas on what's causing this?

I need help identify ing this part It is inside the rail on the Passenger side of the truck. Power steering hoses go to it and it looks like a square Box. Maybe a Junction Box definite crack in it what's it called? This is on a 08 vnl780 Lost all power steering oil completely dumped out of it. Stranded at rest area.

Must be a week for breakdowns. Hope it's something simple. The rest of my parts should be here shortly shouldn't take too long To Get it fixed and back on the road. I feel pretty lucky that we didn't have to be towed back to wenatchee. Maybe I can send some good luck to you so here it goes good luck.😃

Good morning still broke down at a rest area what a ruff night but beside that we have good news part no.2103273 oil cooler was delivered to our truck door about 1:30am. Have to unload Jeep and make a run to closest town wich is 27 miles away.to Pic up buckets and more coolant if I can clamp of hoses I may not have to drain it.go to Pic up floor dry I have pig mats don't think it's enough got quite a mess to clean up.

It's a power steering cooler. It looks like a four inch square block has four hoses going into it. 2 for the power steering oil and the other 2 for Antifreeze coolant. We got the part coming from Seattle should be here some time around midnight or 1st thing in the morning. We'll have to run to nearest town pick up 3 five gallon buckets in new antifreeze.

Called for mobile mechanic a About 10 o'clock showed up around 11:30. Just to tell us it was out of his scope of work. And charged $385. Did a lot of calling found out this Part is on a National backorder list. had Part houses and Wrecking yards. looking all over eastern Washington to no Avail. My son works over by Olympia at modern equipment. He managed to locate. The part south of seattle. He has a truck driver that makes a trip to Spokane every night. He thinks he might be able to get the part delivered to us by midnight we will see.

I think you may be right when I Drained coolant to replace air compressor. I believe it was about 10 or 11 gallons but don't take my word for it. Because I think I lost about a gallon of it when I dumped it on the floor in the garage. Better keep looking.

Just realized I have no more major projects In the wings oh what to do. Got my list of Chores done. Now we start on D w's list. Can I survive this? stay tuned! I have noticed over the last week or two my Dried out old cracked carpeter hands are starting to get soft. Is this a form of dish Pan hands I don't know. Is this retirement setting in? Is this the elusive unicorn they talk about?

Didn't see the price.
