Depending on how much you put in just leave it there i would think

I know they recommend atf 4+. The guy who had my pickup before me cost me a rack and pinion, power steering pump and new lines.... So i would NOT recommend leaving it in. I believe the reasoning behind this is viscosity, at lower temps the atf wont get thick like the power steering fluid will.. when the fluid gets thick the pump cavitates and causes issues. as far as flushing i would think the best would be pull of the lines let it run out, maybe jack up the front end and manually push the wheels to empty the rack.. im not expert just my thoughts and experiences.

I did the same thing and yea that's all I did lifted the truck and removed the lines and just kept pushing the wheels to push all the fluid out. I can't say how much cause I have gear box steering not R&P
