Steering Gear replacement 2003-2008 Dodge 2500,3500 

You KNOW what you are doing!!! Thanx for the clock-spring advice !!!!

I didn’t even think about using the seatbelt to hold the wheel. Awesome video!

Thank you for the clear and concise instructions. Now I feel confident that I will not go from bad to worse when I change the steering box on the wife's truck.

Thank you for posting this video - it was a huge help! I ended up leaving the pitman arm attached to the linkage, but otherwise followed your steps without too much trouble. My puller wouldn't fit the pitman arm on my '08 RAM 2500, but I managed to tease it off with a cold chisel, penetrating oil, and some patience.

Well illustrated video. Thanks for taking the time to post this project. It will make my 05 Steering Box upgrade much easier. Thanks for sharing...

Such a pain to do that while holding a phone, thanks for doing it!

best darn driveway video Ive seen. Thanks for the help.

I have to say thank you! I watched a few videos of doing this before I attacked mine. Yours was by far the most direct and simple and well as good tips for different things. Even down to getting stubby wrenches. I had to go barrow them from a buddy but made a world of difference. Just wanted to take the time to thank you for taking the time to make the video. It made my job a lot easier since I don’t work on vehicles for a living.

nicely done. i see its a beautiful day in Canada to do this kind of work.....

Great video!

Great job Keep it up!! very informative Keep up the details and the videos this Channel will grow.

I just did mine. Later seen the instructions said to center main shaft in the gearbox using the input shaft. Never did it so now it pulls to the right. Going to have to take the shafts off a recent recenter it it looks like

18 mm or 13/16 did not fit to take lines off, any advice. Also, inside the steering coupling that attached to the steering gear box is stripped. Should I replace it? Thanks for your help, you rock.

You don’t have enough subscribers. That was AWESOME. Thank you so much for showing us this! My dad has a leak on the passenger side and we think it is power steering fluid. It’s orangish-red, just like coolant. I noticed a dark stain on his fender cover inside near the front passenger tire. I removed the fender cover and saw this tray/box that sits near the alternator and on the side/under the radiator. I can’t tell if it’s plastic or metal, but the entire trey is coated with the liquid. It is orange/red. So i searched YT to see where the steering box is (driver’s side under fender cover). Thanks for this! Do you have an idea of what could be leaking in that spot?

Thanks for posting this, it was a great help! The only challenge I'm having is getting the fluid lines put into the new gearbox. Any tricks on how to get those started? I'm trying to make sure I don't cross thread them or anything but getting them started with just my fingers doesn't seem to want to work. Thanks again!

THanks for this - I'm about to do the same chore. Would not have thought of the clock spring! Any idea how much fluid you lost? Also, since you're going to remove the pitman arm anyway, why not leave the drag link attached to it and just leave the whole thing dangling up there while you replace the box?

I have my truck that bends the steering rod I changed some parts but I don't understand why the steering rod bends on two occasions

by no means am I a professional but I found it easier to take the entire inner fender off. You can easily reach the bolts and you don't have to snake your arms down from the top for the hydraulic lines.

Thanks a bunch...great vid...1 question...the knuckle on the intermediate shaft that attaches to the steering box...is there a certain way for it to go on?...I'm in the process..

What’s the part number of your pitman puller?

My 2014 Ram 3500 diesel has an issue where the steering is inconsistant on curves. Feels like the pressure on the steering is intermittent. All the tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings, track bar bushings, stabilizer links, and steering dampner have been checked and the loose parts replaced and the problem remains. Wondering if a steering box is the answer to remedy this or the pump, my knowledge ends at this point and I have never encountered this before, I can find forums with people having the same problem and no solutions. Any help would be great.

Do you have the truck lifted from the front while you toon the tie rod off ?

Anyway to change the fluid out while doing this? And do you use just regular ATF to top it off?

Should have installed the 6 bolt box.

I have a question. I recently bought a 07 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9l cumins and a couple of days ago while I was driving it it felt like I didn’t have steering while I was making a left turn. I replaced de p/a fluid becáis it had a burnt smell. But I don’t fix anything. It doesn’t do it all the time. I took my truck to a dodge dealer and after $500 in diagnostics, they were unable to duplicate the concern. Based in your experience, what could be the cause of the steering issue? Thank you.

Why should it be replaced?

Attaching tie rod?

How did you bleed the power steering lines….im going to have to change my power steering pump too and i figure its a pain but do it both at the same time

I’m needing help with something

I allwase separate my joints with a hammer
