Default Power Stearing Fluid

Ran into another problem here. My truck is leaking power stearing fluid pretty badly. after crawling under it, I see that it is comming out of the bottom of the stearing box. Any suggestions. Probably go to the junk yard and pick up another one? and the stearing its really loose. I can go from about 11 to 1 o'clock and still drive pretty straight. any ideas here? any help is appreciated. thanks

Put a crowbar in your wallet and get a rebuilt steering box.

i agree not long after i bought my truck my wife was turning around in the ditch and the power steering shaft broke smooth into and had no power steering. (truck was all stock) you can get a power steering pump with out the Reservoir for $50

somebody on here put on a new(rebuilt) steering box awhile back. might have been zman. he got one from the local auto parts store and went through 2 or 3 bad ones of one brand and then got a good one from another brand. see if a search on 2nd gen ram will turn it up.

Yep, just from my experience I say stay away from the Cardone. Some people may not have the probs I had , but I won't buy anything rebuilt by them anymore.
