  1. 2010-2012 Powertrain
    So my 2012 Laramie 2500 is having steering issues. Stock rims, 34” tires and 160,000 miles and new draglink. Tires are wearing normal. But anytime I turn, left or right, the steering wheel pulses trying to make the truck go straight. Pulses match tire rpm. No noise from the front end. It’s not...

    I am looking to upgrade my steering box to a 6-bolt PSC SG853 XD Steering Gearbox. I realize that I should try to pair that upgraded steering box with an upgraded pump/reservoir. Many have suggested on various threads here to go with a 2013+ pump and reservoir. The downside of doing so from...

    Hello, here is yet another front end overhaul questions thread. I am looking at picking up a DORMAN TA81259PR 3rd gen steering system to throw on my second gen because I cant afford that synergy stuff. Along side that I am picking up a decent reviewed set of ball joints and a track bar...

    So I bought a 2013.5 3500 off a friend recently for my work rig. I’m not the most mechanically inclined but I’m trying to learn. Anyway, he had mentioned the axle was shifted 1” to the driver side, because of something about not having the .5 drag link manufactured at whatever point in time, and...

    I am getting a noise when I turn the steering wheel. It does not matter if I am stopped, cruising in the streets or full speed on the highway. It sounds like a fluid/whirling noise around the steering column or right on the other side of the firewall. Any ideas? The only thing that I have done...

    Hey guys, new here and to dodges. Had questions about the front ends on these, but I’ll start by saying I’m mechanically retarded for the most part, but trying to learn. My work trucks a 3500 6.7 with extra weight, coming in around 12,500 daily weight. I’m looking to upgrade the front...

    Okay everyone, I wanna rebuild the steering column on the old 88 dodge w350 now. It’s one of the last things I have to do before I get to body work and paint and I was wondering if anyone has attempted such a feat before, or if I can send the column out to get rebuilt. The bearings in the column...

    Long time listener, first time poster. '99 24 Valve Extended Cab, Long Box, Auto Trans, 340k. Brief history/back story: Power steering and Hydroboost were changed about a month ago. I was moving and couldn't do the work myself. I needed the truck a.s.a.p so the shop put in some reman parts...

    Hi everyone, I got an Industrial Pump which is rated to 163BAR or 2364 PSI. Seems the pump has only 1 outlet and 1 inlet, so I was planning to place a "T" fitting on the outlet and send 1 line to the HydroBoost and the other line to the Steering box. I know some aftermarket pumps can pump up to...

    Yesterday as I was backing out of a parking spot, I heard a loud bang. As this happened I no longer could steer the truck. The steering wheel can very easily be moved, but the wheels won't turn. Even when the truck is off, the steering wheel can still move, rather than being locked as is...

    I have a 2017 CTD and have gotten some really bad wandering all over the road issues, almost like I’m fighting loose steering and it’s back and forth. I needed new tires and had ridge grapplers (35s) and it was pulling really hard to the right and had one tire wearing badly so I knew something...

    I’ve got the strangest clunk goin on in the front end. It’s one clunk going left or right. It seems it shifts from side to side. Say I make a right turn clunk, then another right turn, nothing happens. But only clunks again when I make the next left turn. Strangest part of it all… it only...
  13. 98.5-02 Non-Powertrain
    I am hearing a "clicking" sound coming from my steering column inside the truck when turning. It does not consistently make the sound but it is at least everyday. My gut tells me I need to replace the steering shaft and box but before I go that route I figured I would I seek a second opinion...

    I recently finished my Free Spin Conversion on 94 2500 using 93 Ford Outers and Yukon one piece long side shaft . I am now ready to tackle the steering , my truck still had the stock inverted Y , which was worn out . I have read up on some of the different upgrades, but it left me with more...
  15. 89-93 Non-Powertrain
    Hey everyone, I’ve had an issue after starting to work on my truck after the rollover. The power steering will only move a certain amount in one direction. About half of a steering wheel turn to the left, and 2 steering wheel turns to the right. I would like to get it figured out everything...
  16. 98.5-02 Non-Powertrain
    Hi folks, My truck has a popping sound when turning. I know there are hundreds of threads on this, and trust me, I've read every one. I've been using this forum for years as I've slowly upgraded my second gen, and I have always been able to find an existing thread that answered my question...
  17. 89-93 Non-Powertrain
    I was driving the other week and noticed that my steering was loose. Over the next few days, it got almost uncontrollable and would pull left or right every few seconds while driving. I have since replaced the steering box, all tie rods, drag link, and steering shaft. I have a video that I will...

    I rebuilt the steering box in my truck the other day, put everything back in, confidently bled all air from the system, power steering would not work, with truck running or not, the steering was very stiff (even with pitman arm detached) pulled the box out again, I know the pump is working fine...
  19. 98.5-02 Non-Powertrain
    About 3 weeks ago now I got new wheels/tires and was checking clearance on them. As I was turning the wheel I lost my power steering. Went for a drive also noticed I had lost brakes as well. Tried bleeding the pump and that didn’t get me anywhere. So far I purchased and installed new power...

    I'm not sure what year Ram switched the front steering configuration to where there are separate connection points on the passenger side steering knuckle for the drag link and tie-rod. This seems to be a superior design to that where the drag link connects to the tie-rod inboard of the knuckle...
