Sorry for the long delay in responding/updating. We've been so busy.

Anyway, re: the battery - if we do replace the battery, what brand/size/type is best for the '03 4.7L Durango?

Re: the power steering leak...husband hasn't had a chance to check yet, but as soon as he does, I will update.

Thanks for the help & suggestions, even though this is posted in the wrong section!
