I have no idea what to do. I want to dump this truck and look for another one. what can I do to get rid or it? Thanks allot

What brands of pumps have you tried? I'm guessing that companies other than Mopar make them.

Is your truck lifted with large tires?

Yeah, 5 is a bit high.

What is failing in the pumps? Especially the first one. Saying going in for the 5th one isn't saying anything. Maybe your first one wasn't the first to go bad.

If there's junk in the lines, did you flush them to ensure the "chunkies" didn't run through the new pumps and ruin them too? Its happened before.

I am going to suggest that you remove the Power steering box also along with the brake booster.
Have them flushed and then put back on.
Have a look at your hydro booster, The round thing on the brake master cylinder. Have it tested for correct operation.

.... that's the first thing I thought of when I read the title to this post. There is definately a link between the two.

No lift, I have 2957017 on stock wheels. The dealer is having to replace them, they have used new OEM flushed and new lines, They are ??? as well. I have had the transfer case go out, the air cond. this truck is a LEMON I need it for work, so down time kills the money in pocket. Is there a way to get out from this truck? I bought it used from a volvo dealer with 75K on her it only has 82K Thanks

I just killed my pump too. I believe it was from adding power steering fluid intead of ATF+4 like the book calls for. I thought it was DC just trying to sell fluid, but the guy at my local part's store said he used to be a tech for DC, and I killed the pump by adding ps fluid. It wasn't bad until I topped off the fluid last week. Who really know's for sure. But it is something to consider.

My 06 has 17 k and dc has replaced one steering box and it seems to be leaking again. I have only used atf +4 when topping it off I dont understand is there away to overfill it? My 99 had 100k on the same box and i topped it off several times never any probs out of it maybe they are oversensitive

Are you sure ATF+4 is being used in the system?
