rucks use low gears to maximize engine braking, Then if the truck accelerates in spite, stand on the brake pedal pretty hard, and slow the truck. Then let off the brakes to allow them to cool. Probably a 10 mph cycle. Rinse. repeat.

Sherman, you are probably overfilling the steering box. Basically, they don't have real seals, shouldn't be filled so high they leak puddles.

Anybody got input on these answers?
