Thanks for the video guys. Going through hard times and my truck keeps breaking down. Shop wanted 900 to do this. I can do it myself for 50. You guys saved me. Thanks!
Nice video! I just want to replace the high pressure and low pressure hoses.Maybe a video on that in the future. Durango 2003 4.7L, It is very helpful to see it done in an organized way, the way you guys do it.thanks for sharing. JG
nicely done, but I would have cleaned the reservoir, removing all the dirt and grime...it helps you to see other potential problems and it just looks ,more professional....
This seems like a pretty easy installation I defiantly need to do this for my 01 Dakota 4.7 liter V8 every time I start my truck in the morning on a cold start it makes a loud winding noise and I don't have power steering for the first 3 minutes then it warms up a little and loosens up and works.
Have you replaced yours yet? Mine does the same thing. I had my pump replaced 3ish years ago and it's acting up again. This time I'll be doing it and wanted to see if you had any luck. I don't see any leaks in my system.
I just bought the whole assembly for my Dodge Durango for a hundred bucks, regular two hundred and something. My mechanic was going to charge me over five hundred to do this.
We have done all this and when we got everything done we put in fluid and it was leaking where the 6 oclock bolt is but behind it, Can you tell me when you put the bottle back on is it suppose to have a plastic connector that goes on the bottle or just an oring? This is on a 2000 Dodge Durango 4.7 By the way this oring on the bottle by not having it can it be causing a leak? Do have one but was putting a bigger one than you showed so it was beyond where it should have been. Thanks
Mine was leaking at where it was connected to the steering gear (not a 4x4 so no oil cooler). The metal fittings had degraded. I could also see where it was dripping down. Once i replaced both the high and low lines, no more leak. I did not have the right tools/experience to actually replace the pump. I tried and there was a bolt or two I simply could not reach.
Thanks for the video, my son drives a 2001 Dodge Dakota would it be the same as this video? His is leaking so I want to replace. I already replaced the high pressure line thinking that’s where the leak was.. Thanks for any help..
There is a small spacer that goes on that reservoir where the seal is installed at 5:11 on your video. with out that space your reservoir will leak. It was prob left in old pump body.
Why are you adding 'power steering fluid' when these take ATF+4 ?? You're mixing different types of fluid. the Original ATF+4 thats already in the rack/pinion and now power steering fluid? FAIL...
video is good up until your showing how to bleed the power steering system. You DO NOT want the pump turning before the system has been bled. Good way to lower lifespan of power steering pump
I've been reading up on this, as I have an '03 Dakota with a Power Steering fluid leak. It makes a lot of noise when I turn the steering wheel and it sounds like the pump is dry/leaking. From what I've read, the lines can go bad, the pump can go bad, or the reservoir can go bad. I haven't seen anything about a bad rack so far. Once you find out exactly where it's leaking from , you can narrow it down, but the reservoir is made of a material that shrinks over time, which eventually makes it impossible to make a proper seal to the pump.
A real kick-ass directions/guide. The best I've seen yet.
The step by step given is f...king great!
I've never done a power steering pump before and this video helped with literally every question. THANK YOU

Going in to handle this tomorrow morning. Thank you for taking the time to put this up on line!

May I ask the O ring kit was it at the parts store ? Or did you have it ordered ? Thanks

First off, thank you fro the video. When I bought my pump, it came with three small o-rings and one large one. Where do they all go?

This is a hell of a lot harder on the 5.9L. Dodge expects you to be Houdini to get the damn bolts off.
i want to know how you know where its leaking i want to replace the low pressure and high pressure hose along with the power steering pump
Mine was leaking at where it was connected to the steering gear (not a 4x4 so no oil cooler). The metal fittings had degraded. I could also see where it was dripping down. Once i replaced both the high and low lines, no more leak. I did not have the right tools/experience to actually replace the pump. I tried and there was a bolt or two I simply could not reach.
what about the spacer that goes on after the o ring??????????/
what size are the bolts that hold the pump on the block?
Thanks for the video, my son drives a 2001 Dodge Dakota would it be the same as this video? His is leaking so I want to replace. I already replaced the high pressure line thinking that’s where the leak was.. Thanks for any help..
can you tell me what size nuts are on the rack for the power steering hose .
There is a small spacer that goes on that reservoir where the seal is installed at 5:11 on your video. with out that space your reservoir will leak. It was prob left in old pump body.
how exactly can i purchase just that spacer i lost mine during the swap and cant seem to find it anywhere
You may have to go to an auto parts junk yard and pull off another pump.
Ever had any problems if old pump had metal shavings in the line ?
ive broken 2 bolts off trying to tighten to 35 psi, where do i get bolts that can withstand that sort of pressure?
Gracias
I just changed mine worked fine turning l to r but now hard to steer again need help what else could it be
Are these the same steps for the 5.9l ?
will this be done the same way as for a 2000 dodge Durango SLT 4x4 4.7L V8 ?
Yes it will be the same.
will this still work for a 99?
just changed my steering pump worked fine for about 5 minutes now hard to steer again
Is this installation the same, As when doing so on a 2000 Dodge Durango SLT 4x4.
It's the same for this vehicle, I followed this when doing it on my 2000 Dodge Durango SLT 4.7L
isnt it best to move the steering wheel side to side 20 times Before turning on the vehicle ?
good video
Why are you adding 'power steering fluid' when these take ATF+4 ?? You're mixing different types of fluid. the Original ATF+4 thats already in the rack/pinion and now power steering fluid? FAIL...
My Durango 2000 after it is heated, the direction becomes
I didn't see you putting the plastic white spacer...
video is good up until your showing how to bleed the power steering system. You DO NOT want the pump turning before the system has been bled. Good way to lower lifespan of power steering pump
get back to the video I was watching
Great video! Thanks!
