[psmd]

I let my brother borrow my truck and he poured windshield washer fluid into the PS resivour.
What is the best place to flush open up the system to do a full flush?
Thanks for the help.

Did you drive it after he put the washer fluid in it?

If that truck was started after the washer fluid was in it, Its junk

Thanks for the replies. He drove the truck to my house about 6 miles. He put about 4 ounces of fluid in before it filled up and he realized. Today I flushed it with about 10qts until the fluid was clear. Drove it afterwards and it worked fine. PS and brakes felt as good as they have for the last 4 yrs. Is it possible that there was no harm done or should I just suck it up and replace the pump to avoid a problem?

The pump should be good

If the pump is fine now, it should stay fine. If there was going to be a problem, I suspect it already would've shown itself.

So what would the differences be when performing this procedure on our 6.4l's? Which fluid? Looks fairly easy so this may be something I see myself doing in the near future.

The process is exactly the same. I did mine about 6 months ago. I used mobil 1 ATF.
