Hi all,

I just registered here and hope to find some support on my first issue with my 94 Dodge Ram 5.9L Diesel Standard Cab. I am totally new to working on engines, but the guy who sold me the truck was willing to help with diagnosing the issue with my power steering.

We first found the oil level was very low. Filled it up, started the truck, and was back to normal functioning.


Then, upon lock to lock turning in place, We found a pinhole leak in the factory's pressure hose.

I got the new part today and need some help with defining the process of removing and reinstalling the pump.

I did some tinkering today with trying to remove the pressure hose, but there was no clearance to get at the nuts that attach the hose to the pump.

So my question now: How to remove the pump to allow access to the hose attachment?

The pump is connected to the engine with two diagonally opposed bolts. I got one loose, and tomorrow will try to get the other loose if I can get some go aheads from more experienced users. The previous owner recommended this procedure.

I am hoping that is all it will take to get it loose enough to access the hose.

Anyone have experience with this specific procedure on this model?

Thanks
Graham

 

I believe you'll find some good procedures in a Haynes manual and the factory service manual as I'm not familiar with a Diesel. There are some diesel folks here that hopefully will respond.

You can get the FSM from this forum. Go out of this thread and look for the 2nd Gen FAQ/DIY subforum. Look for a thread stating the Factory Service Manual and then you can download it in a PDF file format.

 

edit- i just noticed you said - diesel....
never mind. not many diesel people around here. you may need to try dieseltruckresources or one of the other mostly diesel sites.
