the 1500's are known for bad steering racks (thats what happens when you put a car steering system on a 2.5 ton truck). climb under it and look for leakage around the rack, squeeze the boots, if theyre filled with fluid, you need a new rack... park on a clean piece of cardboard and see if/where it drips.
you are using ATF+4 for powersteering fluid, right?

Maybe you have the same problem as I...check here -> https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...-radiator.html

edit - why can't I change my signature? I have tried to find numerous times how to change it so I can update my '03 truck to my '06 tuck.
