Small Block in cars - 55-57 cars (no engines mentioned) - was there a TSB for trucks?

If "The heat thinned the gear oil and leaky seals in the box ensued", you'd think they would go for a thicker grease, unless the steering gear assembly/seals also changed?

00 Steering gear lubricant , where available, was still authorized.

Very interesting sstock - thanks

I wonder if the seals got better?

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
