Default steering problems

Ok I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 with 11 inch lift and 38x14.5tires Toyota m/t tires and once I drive a little I loose power steering. I've replaced the pump twice and the gear box and still same thing. I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do to fix that

What procedure are you using to bleed the air out of the pump?

Take it back to the shop. Show them the problem. Have them fix it. The only parts that have an affect on that are the pump, and the gear box. If it isn't working, one of those parts is bad......

Don't know much about lift's. like I've stated in some other post's(and said I'd stay out of them) . But, 11"'s ? wow. If that lift is not installed correctly, you may be getting some binding going on.


BTW, you running that lift and those size tire's with stock 3:55 gear's?
