I bought a 2006 2500 about 2 weeks ago with 22000 miles on it and now the ps pump needs to be replaced. Anyone else have this problem?

 

Haven't had this problem. What happened?

 

Does it have a lift/bigger than stock tires on it?

 

It is completely stock. I was towing a 6500lb trailer about 100 miles. When I went to back it in its parking spot, the steering was as if I did not have any power steering at all. Once the truck cooled down the ps worked again. It did made a moaning noise when you turned the steering , I just thought that was a Chrysler thing.

 

Have you topped off the reservoir with ATF+4 yet?

 

No, it was full. Does that help anything?

 

It should still be under warranty. Let the dealer handle it.

 

It is there now.

 

I just got mine back from having the pump replaced.

 

Be aware the power steering pump also boosts your brakes.......loose your pump .....you'll have to stand on the brakes to stop

 

Well the dealer has had my truck for a week now and still no ps pump. It is being shipped ground. They did give me a car to drive. They said that Chrysler will not overnight or second day parts but they put me in a rental car at $40 dollars a day. Someone figure the logic to that one.

 

Bean counters do not make sense!

 

The dealer just called and stated that it is ready, they replaced the pump and the high pressure hose. The only good that came out of this, I got to drive the new Charger for a week and know for sure that I would never buy one.
