korrupt66 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have to change out my ps pump I think the bearings are going and I have an extra. When I went to pick up some AFT and ran into the Dexron III and AFT that replaces Dexron III of course I made the mistake of getting it at walmart. My understanding is that III replaces II. Should I search for II or is this replacement for III going to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Neither Dexron-II nor Dexron-III is being made any more -- GM won't license them (the current spec is Dexron-VI). The 'replacement' ATF for Dexron-III/Mercon should work fine, especially in a PS system, where it isn't nearly as critical as in a trans.

korrupt66 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Ok so I learned a valuable lesson today. When you change out your PS pump for an 96 to 97 make sure you have the banjo bolt from the 96. I had it all in and went to put in the bolt in and it was to small from the 97 PS pump. The one I needed is sitting with my parts car an hour away. I called parts stores with no luck. So now I have the PS pump, tank and pulley I didn't wanted on my car. So heres the real kicker no PS noise at all. So all I really did was change out about a Qt. of ATF. We'll see what happens but for now all seems well.
