HI folks, I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota sport 4.7L RWD Has anyone had this problem before? Trying to replace my power steering high pressure hose, but every site I look at that will fit my truck the fitting on the end is different. My old hose has a swivel type fitting but all the new hoses out there are a flare type fitting. will this flare type work? I attached some pics below

my old fitting- tampered end

new flare type

 

Might be just the difference between OEM, and aftermarket manufacturers. It's still just the o-ring that makes the seal. See how much they cost at your local parts store, and if they will price match...... (mine will, but, I have been going there for 30 plus years too.....) If it doesn't fit, much easier to return it.

 

All saginaw fittings have that outward flare. Yours is backwards and I can't for the life of me understand why. Yours almost looks like a 37* JIC flare, but JIC doesn't usually use an O-ring.

 

thank you for the response, I will try and let know if it worked. advance auto parts has it in stock near me.

 

Exactly, threw me for a loop too. I think they are just calling it swivel o-ring type l

 

Did you end up figuring it out?
I have the same problem and air is leaking in somewhere making it whine really bad and the flared end of the new hose I have doesn’t seem to fit into the pump I got because the pump seems to be more rounded and the o ring doesn’t make a seal.

I want to sell my truck so any tips would be great.

 

I will let you know still waiting for some parts...

 

installed new parts no leaks

replaced pump, high pressure hose and return hose. new style hoses seem to be holding no leaks
