My son left to go to the movies tonite, and when he came home, the power steering died.
Fluid is full. He got home at midnite, so I have not got a chance to look at it yet.

2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Sport 5.2L with 3" lift & 295 tires.

Does this pretty much mean a seized pump? We are competent do it your selfers, so is replacement difficult? After doing some research, all the stores in my area seem to have only the Cardone brand. Thanks for any help.

 

Replacement isnt bad. I'd recommend going to a store and getting a haynes manual. If you are an avid do it your selfer follow the manual and you should have no problem doing it.

 

Put a new pump in. Must still have some air in the system because the steering goes hard every now & then. We are bleeding the air by raising up the front end and turning the wheels from side to side.
