Snakes In The Dash!!
Cross Posted From 3rd Gen Because It May Be CTD Specific
I hope not! I've got a hissing noise coming from the dash-board of my truck when I turn the steering wheel. The weird thing is that the noise stops if I step on the brake pedal. So, I'm thinking something to do with the power brakes/steering. It's a 2003 Ram 3500 CTD. All of the fluid levels are good. I was under the dash, and can not find any leaks. The noise is definately in the cab, and not under the hood. Any help in identifying the mystery noise would be appreciated.

The hissing noise is the hydraulic pressure in the power steering. It goes with the brakes applied because the brakes are boosted by the hydroboost system which is powered by the same hydraulic pressure used for the steering.
