I used to use Type F with my stock 77 PS pump and box but now I am running a pump from a 96 Explorer (V8) with my stock box so the question is...
do I use Type F for the sake of the box or Dextron for the sake of the pump.
I used to know the answer to this question but it has be a WHILE since I have had to deal with PS issues.
Thx.

Ya. I know that type F is more abrasive than Dex and it is even more abrasive than PS fluid itself. I just want to make sure my box and pump can perform together correctly.

Dextron III and Mercon both have friction modifiers in them. The type F doesn't.
I switched to regular power steering fluid after I swapped to a saginaw style pump. I've had no pump or gear box troubles..

That is what I was looking for, someone who has had positive results. I know the Pump can handle the fluid but was just worried about the box getting pissed off.
Now I have to figure out how to effectively flush out all the old type F from my system so I can introduce the PS fluid. I think this will cost some $$$ in PS fluid since that box holds so much of it.
