First I'll say, I didn't do this, my fiancee did, but it's what was done to my ram today with my $$$.

Fixed power steering pump yesterday, in an attempt to fix the steering problem. But went to pick-n-pull to get a new steering gear box. Was going to install it today, but it rained, now off to work in the fiancee's 3500 dually cummins.

=D <--- that's a **** eatin' grin.

Installed a Curt Manuf. class 3 hitch. Fit like a charm. Also hooked up the wiring for the lights. Took 15 minutes to install the hitch, great product, very durable coating.

You got a lot of play in the steering wheel or a clunk in the column?

The last time I installed a hitch it took me a few hours between the rust removal, welding and painting.

he probably just bolted it in.

but i measured my rad. and im thinkin of gettin either dual 12" e-fans, or dual 16" e-fans, idk how the 16s will fit if at all, im thinkin of just doin dual 12s at 1550CFM a piece, 80watt motors, i figured that at 14.4V theyll only pull 11A for the pair, which will be perfect for me to use a temp control relay, and a A/C relay with as well.

thats after i replace the rad. though.

Neither, I have NO play in the steering wheel. For little bit, there was no way I could turn right, but I could still turn left. Then I couldn't do either. The pump was replaced, and I could turn left, but not right again, so according to the shop that the two guys that came out to install the pump, the gear box is out. We expected this sorta to happen soon. It's had a slow leak from the gear box since my fiancee bought the truck almost 2 years ago. He ran it dry on fluid Sooo many times. I never did, but that truck just loves to **** me off.

The not being able to turn right thing has happened to me once, but it was due to a bent steering stabilizer shock... bad feeling when you unknowingly go to make a right turn and it only goes straight.

Might wanna check that just for fun
