Years ago a friend had a small truck with 4 cylinder engine and a 5 speed transmission. The truck had about 150K miles on it when the transmission began to make some serious noises. The problem was diagnosed as a failure of some bearings. Not having enough money for new bearings and the labor to put them in, he figured he had nothing to loose and everything to gain with some Slick 50 designed for transmissions. He made the small investment and dumped it in the transmission. The results were dramatic. The nasty bearing noises vanished in a few days and he ran the truck for another 50 K miles with no further trouble.
After seeing positive results with my friends transmission, I later had an issue with a power steering pump starting to growl when making turns. Time to replace the pump was not at hand and money was also a problem. I decided to try the Slick 50 route to buy some time. I extracted some hydraulic fluid from the power steering pump and poured the Slick 50 into a happy new home where I hoped it would work as well for me as in the transmission of my friend. The noise immediately vanished and I drove the truck with the power steering pump for almost a year before the noise started to return. By that time almost 12 K miles had passed and I had the time to replace the pump.
