Default Question for fellow ProCharged Chevy guys...

re: 2000 Silverado 5.3L w/ ProCharger

How do you guys check, add or change your power steering fluid? As if it wasn't hard enough to change the ProCharger oil, the power steering fluid cap is unaccessible as well. I did read a couple of really good suggestions in regards to the ProCharger oil, and I appreciate those. Any comments on the power steering fluid issue?

No one else has accessibility problems in regards to the power steering fluid?

Haven't checked it either. It would be good to know the trick though.

I know the filler neck on the 5.3 trailblazers had an extended filler neck. I was going to look into seeing if I could get the neck part and see if it would fit our trucks but never got around to it.

Talked to Josh @ ATI ProCharger today...
He sort of chuckled and said that he didn't know of an easier way than removing whatever is in the way.
That blows...
