problem #2

Jun 212010

Dakota SLT 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,480 miles

Shaft in the power steering pump broke. Lost all power steering. Luck was that the shaft never came out of the pump and would have done more damage. Replaced power steering pump with a NAPA #81-8404.

damn power steering pump keeps goin bad, if it's not the canister that holds the oil it's the freaking pump itself, their hard to find unless u buy new, and be willing to pay out the ass, goin to try to rebuild myself, maybe it'll last longer.
