Geez I feel like the biggest of dunces. I've owned my truck since 1997 and thought I knew it pretty well--NOT.

Just today for the first time I discovred my front shock absorbers. Duh! How can you miss somthing like that time after time while under the front end?

Anyway, they are the double acting type. After all of these years I figure that they need fluid added per service manual.

What kind of fluid should I use in them? I searched a few forums and couldn't find the answer. Brake fluid perhaps? Too lightweight?

With embarassment I slink silently from the room!


Word hard, play harder, enjoy life!
