AvantiBob Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hello All,I am new to this group. I own a 1968 Mack Fire Truck (CF-600) that I am converting to a classic car hauler. The power steering works fine when turning to the right and does not work when turning to the left. There is no evidence of any fluid leak, although I have not checked any fluid levels since I purchased this fire truck. I have all of the chassic information and specs, but I have no idea what to look for or what the possible problem is. Your help is greatly appreciated! Bob Weir (aka: AvantiBob). P.S. I know cars, but am new at Mack Fire Trucks (I hope they have a few things in common).

ThaddeusW Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Since you have powersteering when turing right the problem sounds like the rotary valve in the steering gear box is bad. I am sure you can have it rebuilt cheaper then a used box. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!
