Default power steering fluid for m813a1?

What type of fluid does the power steering in the m809 series trucks require?

Thank you everyone I kinda figured power steering fluid was the best but wasn't sure I also heard that the no. 10 fluid is basically aw32 hydo oil so that makes sense that would work as well

Its up to you.... ATF or PS fluid. I run PS fluid. I use to run ATF in all of mine but the PS fluid seams to not foam as bad in the 5 ton steering.
