Even IF the gearbox was bad, just stipulating to him for the sake of argument, that has NOTHING to do with the leak from the pump. NOTHING. And their customer service isn't going to get them the gearbox work.....not if it was mine!

Tat his a**! You are a paying customer. If he has a problem with tats, he should not have taken your money!

What does THAT have to do with the power steering pump?

Fact is, he DID work on it. You paid him money to fix a problem that still isn't fixed. He needs to just suck it up and do what it takes to solve the problem, and keep his customer happy.

We may all need to get a Ram convoy to Missouri and circle his shop! Custer ain't seen a herd of Rams circling like sharks! He only had Indians!

I get normal hydraulic sounds out of mine. (kinda like water rushing thru a pipe.) But, I can't hear it when the windows are up. If it is groaning/whining, there is a problem. Running it empty a couple times will certainly not do it any good.

well this is as I said the 2nd pump they put on&when I got it I drove home 3 miles then to the store&back home a total of less than 20 miles.When I checked the fluid level there was maybe 1/4 of an inch of fluid in it so I topd it off.If they didn't fill it up that seems nuts to only add that little of an amount.

Well then..... Lemme guess, they didn't flush the gearbox at all, looking for any evidence of a failing box?

When the pump actually has fluid in it, how does the truck drive? Any issues turning the wheel?

Guess they didn't,he keeps saying that the gear box feels like there's something binding up in it.When I drive it seems the same to me as it always has.Seems like it has a little slop but nothing that I can't handle.Drives straight if I takes my hands of the wheel Don't seem to bind up when I turn.
