She's being a total pig. Thought i'd be nice and replace her leaky power steering line, but have blown my second replacement now. WHATS THE DEAL? Putting in power steering fluid, as it already had in it, and bleeding her out. she keeps blowing..

Have you changed out the pump? Have you removed the flow regulator to see if it's plugged?

POWER STEERING PROBLEM SOLVED

SO my tip of advice to everyone with a Square pertaining to probably any part on your truck:

If your part is damaged a little or leaking a little, sometimes it's best to leave it go. There's nothing like an original, name brand piece compared to new reproduction garbage. For my power steering hose, my old gear to reservoir hose was damp, and figured hey, why not? LMC'd a hose, they f**ked me. Got another one, f**ked me again. Put the old one on, good as new. Just gotta top off the power steering fluid every so often. When it does blow eventually, i'll go to NAPA (a real parts store) or order a genuine hose.

MAIN TAKE AWAY:

China crap is crap.

The only problem I see with grass is you can roll a creeper on grass. And it's always been my luck that my truck breaks down in the driveway or out on the street parked next to the curb.
That's okay, but I always worry about having my legs run over because I've seen cars drive right next to the truck when passing by. My photo of my truck to the left is in my drive. And it's a piss ant driveway barely wide enough for the width of my truck. My question is, my house was built in 1955, ever seen a '50's car that was as tiny as some little Honda? '50's cars were where the term "boat" or "ship" was coined. If you look at my photo to the left, my truck is on the right hand edge. There's about a foot on the other side. I park like that so the edge of the yard doesn't become a muddy trench there next to the truck. You got just enough concrete to walk next to the truck if you close the door of the truck before you walk by it to the house. We've had plans to widen our drive but it hasn't happened yet.

The old concrete of my drive nothing else works but plain 'ol floor dry. I just get to it as quickly as possible before it sinks in. The old concrete is very porous and no kind of soaps or solvents work on it because of that. Believe me, I've tried them all including straight MEK. If you wait, the only thing I found to use on that old ass concrete is to take your foot and just grind the hell out of floor dry, sweep it up, and it comes clean as a whistle.

Mine is daily driven by my kid.
It parks next to the driveway in what used to be grass.
It is now covered in a bed of tree chips we picked up for free from a local tree trimmer.
They help keep the mud at bay and things looking decent.
If we need to work on it, we have to rearrange the cars to get a section of cement.
6 spots in the front of the house and 6 vehicles, one of which is stored in the garage.
2 vehicles run every time.
1 vehicle is grumpy, but can leave the driveway.
1 vehicle is able to move it self around the driveway only.
2 are not operational at all and get pushed.

I park in a 100+ year old barn with lots of junk. Has metal siding and roof installed 40-50 years ago but still good-ish. No heat or A/C, or lights (all burned out and up high, lol)

Maybe one day. I can't just have gravel put down. I need to level the entire area, add some drainage, have gravel put down and then pave it. Believe it or not, it's easier for me to work in grass than on gravel. So any improvement is going to snowball and it will be a whole ordeal, lol.

Yeah...and the fact he is a baby making machine...How many kids you have now Andy? 20--25? LOL
