1978 Dodge M600 Motorhome Chassis

From : Annonymous

Q: i have just purchased a 1978 travco 320 motorhome. i believe it is a m600 dodge motorhome chassis. it has a 440 engine. my question has to do with the power steering. when i turn off the engine on the rv the power steering fluid starts to blow out at the top of the cap for the power steering reservoir. it does not leak while driving or engine running. only when the vehicle is turned off. any ideas why it would do this. oh and it does it every time also. thanks ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-unrestricted-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .

any ideas why it would do this. oh and it does it every time also. a number of things come to mind. filter ps fluid cooling radiator small finned thing fluid needs changing clogged hoses low or overfilled resoviersp. my best guess is the resovoir is too full. check when cold. there are probably two marks on the dipstick. one for hot and one for cold. so what does your manual say bob az .

there is no manual at all. i just order one the other day so hopefully i can get one in a week. the resoivoir is not over filled. ill try flushing out the p.s system to see if it helps. ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-unrestricted-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .

ive got the m-400 chassis under an 81 establishment 26 with the same drive train. the p.steer pump is a bear to get to but do not overfill. make sure the belt is properly tightened. if you have the hydraulic boosted brakes it supplies boost pressure for them also and because of the extra hydraulic lines requires more fluid. check when cold so you dont burn yourself and work all the air out of the system with some low speed 5 mph full left and full right turns in a parking lot. budd there is no manual at all. i just order one the other day so hopefully i can get one in a week. the resoivoir is not over filled. ill try flushing out the p.s system to see if it helps. ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-unrestricted-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .
