Is this a common problem for these trucks .....leaking at 50000 miles....front end rattling..who has good remans...anyone have good luck with a reman......AND......how hard of a job is it too change the rack...I didn't see a DIY for this or I missed it....thanks for any info or tips on changing the rack

 

are you sure.?
.
the power steering cooler is well known to leak...badly
what about ball joints and tie-rod ends???
the low pressure side HOSE.. the lower clamp will break all by its self... and causing a messy leak.

50K is very early.

 

not cooler and have changed clamps on lines...pump has been changed...can see it is wet and drips occasionally from rack


upper and lower ball joints been changed and outer tie rod ends...and new struts....don't know what else it can be unless its inner tie rod ends....if it is just change the rack since it is dripping once and awhile

 

Squeeze the rack boots, see if you get fluid.

 

never thought of that but will try..thanks....

 

no fluid when squeezing the boots...that's a good thing...

 

Could be. That means the rack maybe leaking somewhere else. Does the truck have the Hemi?

 

yes..07 Big horn Quad Cab

 

Has it had an oil change recently? The oil from the filter runs down the back side of the a frame, right onto the rack. It will look like the rack is leaking.

 

ends up being the pump...again...bad to the shop..lifetime warrenty on pump.....this is the 3rd one...I think I read somewhere where dodge has a upgraded pump now or maybe I was reading it about my wifes vehicle...cant remember...what pumps has everyone used and what kinda luck have you had.....
