I would recommend this to anyone who has a faulty system that is beyond a simple fix. 2 bolts, 2 hoses and 1 locking bolt on the steering arm and 2 external tie rod ends. 30-45 minutes tops....Truck steers like new...I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.....Can't wait for the next one to come out.

      @@petrocksgarage ATF+4 on these is factory fill some years, since its full synthetic. People make the mistake of adding anything to these systems, or mix them, and they begin to growl, leak r otherwise underperform/fail.
      Some Mopar vehicles require specific Power Steering fluid, and there are multiple types made by Mopar, either type MS 5931 or it's replacement, MS10838. The Type for the WJ Grand Cherokee 4.7's (vin's J and N) with hydraulic cooling fan is its own part number and NOT ATF. There is a Valvoline substitute with both of those Mopar numbers that is manufacturer approved and cheaper than genuine Mopar numbers
      To be 100% sure, always check under hood AND in the Factory service data, owners manuals, etc. Even the dealer tech PDI-ing (Pre Delivery inspecting) the vehicle for its first sale in 1999 may not have used the correct fluid before the vehicle was sold. There was some confusion among persons who work/worked on these systems which continued over the entire WJ generation and beyond. Not everyone is conscientious as Martin is when it comes to these Jeeps, not even many so-called dealer trained Jeep/Mopar experts.
      Most fluids need filling and topping off before PDI check in and new delivery,.. there is a chance ANYTHING could have been added. Then people see whatever color in there, assume its right and keep adding. Ask me about Jiffy Lube adding PS fluid to a master cylinder ..more than one time in one car. The destruction one Jiffy Lube idiot can do in on day unsupervised is a sight to behold!!!
      I see this all the time, very many people think that ATF is an across the board substitute for power steering or transfer case fluid, and it's not. Even automatic transmissions don't all take "regular ATF" fluid, Dexron, Mercon, or AFT+3/4. The only way to be sure is to research it thoroughly when in doubt!

    Why not transmission fluid? I have it in 2 Durango's a Dakota and the Cummins and it's been doing just fine. I always use it because I always have extra transmission fluid around and usually don't have power steering fluid. I know it's ok to add transmission fluid prior to 2006 to your fuel and oil but not after 2006 because of the gasket materials...transmission fluid is a cleaner and a lubricant.

    Hey Martin, I have heard that the power steering pump has something to do with the cooling system, in these early Dakota. Is there any validity to that claim? What function could it possibly serve?

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't see how it could. Now on a 01+ Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.7 the power steering pump drives a hydraulic cooling fan, if the pump fails the fan stops working and the engine over heats.

    The sensor in the high pressure line is the power steering pressure switch. It will kick a p0551. Had it twice on my 00.

      Not all Dakotas have that sensor on the high pressure line, my 04 4.7 doesnt have one 🤔🤔

    Im still trying to figure out what is causing the drop of RPMS while idle at red lights, drops from 750 to 500. Clueless

      Me too. Jumps up after a bit. Purge solenoid? Dunno

      @@eduardocarrillo6165 well yeah you put pressure on the motor and it tries to compensate and then you let off and it jumps up then it should go back down...

    • @eduardocarrillo6165
      @eduardocarrillo6165 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is that normal, for the RPMS to drop while idle or is there a sensor or part that needs to be changed??

  • @johnserosanguineous1886
    @johnserosanguineous1886 ปีที่แล้ว

    I actually had better luck replacing the bottom two bolts from the bottom. Something is still leaking though... but at least it doesn't sound like a dying animal every time I turn the wheel now.

  • @brownwrench
    @brownwrench 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, replacing the pump and lines did nothing for the noise.
    I have resolved to convert to an electric pump from a Volvo and install it in the corner behind my right headlight. Wish me luck.

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      interesting, let me know how that turns out.
      From what year and model does the electric steering pump come from?

    • @brownwrench

      I will just need longer lines and a shorter belt

      If that is what the owner's manual is recommending, then that's what I would use.
