Exclamation 2001 Dodge ram heater core/blower issues.... also power steering! help :P

2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 ltr V8 Sport

Hey guys, Im new here and looking for some advice..... I just hada shop where I have gotten many things done replace my heater core.... when i tested my heater it heats up like a bastard! However there is no pressure behind the blower.... accept through the floor vent.... which goes full blast no matter what setting the panel is on... like if its on low defrost..... there is barely any air coming out the defrost vents...and the floor vent is blowing on full...... ne thoughts?

Also .... truck making wierd noise tonight..... turns out power steering resvoir is empty almost.... . i filled it up halfway and there is a leak dripping out the bottom of the truck ... appears fairly slow.... and only when the truck is running.... ne thoughts?

Take the truck back to where you had the work done, explain the problem, have them fix it.

Find out where the leak is coming from. Should be able to just peek up under the truck while its running, and see it...

+1, they left a vac hose off, or the plug to the electric blend door motor.
