Well I'm not finding any leaks at any fittings so that's good, I let the truck sit all day and the fluid level went down about 1/4 in and now when I open the left rear bleeder fluid poors out so I'm gonn try bleeding again and see what happens. I called the local dodge dealer shop Forman what a joke and he prolly makes 50 grand a year!

If your truck is an 01 like your sig says then you most likely have an issue between the vacuum pump and power steering pump. Do you have vacuum? Heater controls working? If yes, check and see if the steering pump is pumping. If not, then the intermediate shaft that connects the two pumps is messed up. That's what happened to mine. Evidently it's pretty common. Peter Gould at fixinrams.com sells the cheapest and easiest solution (if that's the problem).

this I dont know all I know is 2 weeks ago I had a brake line burst and now I have all the above. But Ive come to the conclusion the master cylinder is shot and i figure since im in there might as well do the booster too cause Id hate to get everything out and just had switch out the master and the booster be bad too but now Im thinkin it bad as well. this is the lass dime im puttin in this truck the next dime i spend on a dodge will be a 2011
