On the Hemi. And it is a common one. Power steering leak and it sounds like the pump is making a abnormal noise, likely caused by being low.

Good thing I still have warranty

 

I've had to refill my power steering twice in the 4 months I've owned my truck. Guess it has a slow leak. Should I just go ahead and prepare to replace the pump, or try to find the leak and hope it's in a loose line? My old vehicle had a leaking line, and it was discovered by my ex's dad looking under the hood, I put a load on it and he got squirted in the face with powersteering fluid. Whoops!

 

yeah the pwr strg leak is really common....i replaced the clamps on the lines right away when i bought my truck, haven't had any problems yet (4 yrs & 57K miles)

 

same issue, went out got a new clamp today. fixed the issue! just make sure you run it after you tighten and refill, then drive it some. then comeback after it's warmed up and tighten again. allllll better!

 

Yea my dads 03 had 3 pumps put on it under warranty. The last one is very stiff and it somewhat new. I'm waiting for this one to go too....

 

same with me.. i took mine to the shop and it was just a loose line...they went ahead and threw some clamps on there to...fixed er' right up!

 

Same issue replaced the clamps and filled with Lucas and no more issues.

 

my dad had a 2003 hemi and his powersteering pump went out at 30,000, but the dealer fixed it for free,

 

Our 04 had a funny noise comming from the powersteering and it turned out to be 2 front outer U-joints in the front axel were going bad and the PSpump was working overtime to make it turn with the binding U-joints. After U-joints were fixed-no more funny noises. Only 25,000mi on it.

 

yeah would have felt bad for ya if it was a maj rep with no warranty seeing that you were so close to buying a new truck.
