This was so helpful I couldn’t have done it without your video. Extremely informative! Cheers!
Glad this video was helpful 👍
You made it look so easy thank you
Great videos, just found your YT vids.
I see that I’m not the only one that gets the wrong parts & are already halfway through the job , lol!
thanks man! bout to replace my 07' dakota rack FINALLY
Excellent job, congrats
Nice job on the video man 🤙🏽
Nice video, very helpful. Suscribed
Thx, helpfull. We got the same issue and i'm surprised, how easy the work is.
It's usually not lol everything came off with almost no effort besides that tie rod nut
@@johnnyversaci7091 thx for reply
Nice
Other than the pump and rack, front end, rear appears normal leaks, is there other places the steering fluid can leak from?
Im not ready to replace this truck yet, 2001, previiously owned, and many parts im hitting are original, so i figure each month ill hit something else. Doung the work myself and my brother in law. ( and his dhsp on tool kit) who thinks after replacing tge whole pump and reservoir, the spot tgat started leaking next is the rack. But when i got u dervit, it seemed to be an inbetween spot too. ( pump and rack)
Also.. the part tgat looks like a vondenser next to the pump.. would tgat need replacing too? He thinks all the fluid that leaked may have damaged it.. or can it be cleaned?
When i was looking up the ORing kit, i realized it was not much more to just replace tge parts and i had to find all the bolts anyway, so may as well put new parts that come with new ORings?
Great video.
Im 58 yr woman. Learning a new thing this year. "Mechanical repairs" of my truck.
I got the truck for free, road ready. But onowing it was about to need new parts, at about 150.00 mo average for any given part. This is not the hardest thing we have done so far. Lol
But when im done with the need for the projects i wanted it for, itll go to my som in law.. for dump rins and grocery errandas. So its less cost than getting into a car and insurance note. And im hitting a new part about every 3 months, before its an issue, but this one caught me off guard. At same time as renewal of licence and registration and inspection. So its been off road a month to diagnose and order parts.
I think the other leaks happened due to other video, not yours, not addressing PRESSURIZING. ( Which was an issue when we did the radiator, not a "simple add to overflow" issue. Lol ) but we figured it out, finding that the hex screw on hose is a "process" to pressurize"
Im just adding this for anyone commenting.
Im in a state that lives for you to maintain your older vehicles. If it passes insoection, i can get a inspection that will be honored till it dies, "isnt worth the cost to repair, and will be salvaged when it dies and off the road" but i dont think its there yet.. plus, i live it, first pick up ive owned, and when i get a new vehicle, it will def be a Pick Up again.
So my next question would be . What gets best mileage?! Lol
Hello! I am soon going to replace my steering rack on my 2000 Dakota. What other components should I need? I want to replace Tie Rods and the steering rack. Is there anything else I will need?
I would love to see a dakota video with the 4.7 and 4wd if the opportunity arises. Thanks for the video though.
I think it's pretty much the same except for needing to drop the steering rack to get at the power steering lines? Someone correct me if I'm wrong
I subsribed
Thank you so much for the video. It was very helpful but as I replaced it and made sure everything was tighten correctly. I went to add the fluid and after I drove it, it drove perfectly fine until I would go to stop and it would seem like the power steering would lock up and I would have to turn the wheel very hard, what do you think the issue is?
I would go back through the bleeding procedure and make sure all the air is out of the system.
Heads Up..... if this is 4x4 No way to get at the fluid lines.........You will need to drop the rack to get some space
Thanks for the tip, I gotta do this on my 08 4.7l 4x4. Any other tips or is it pretty straightforward. Thanks
I blew my pump with regular standard power steering fluid hard to turn no whining just no power steering at low rpm
@@macd9861 What brand of power steering fluid did you use? The Prestone universal power steering fluid is compatible and shouldn't cause pump failure.
were did you get that electric wrench from I can't find that nowhere near me and also great video love the simple break down
Glad this was helpful! I have tools and parts in the description 👍
Nice presentation. Good job!
Great video. Will 1998 Dakota be the same as your ? I was told it was a bear but your looks pretty good. Also after the rack & pinion is completely out of the way is that the best time to replace the steering shaft ? I was told mine is also bad. I was also told the power steering pump was bad too.
Again Thanks, Steve
@@Steve-cs3tt I'm not sure if a 98' is the same. If you are replacing the steering shaft as well loosen all the bolts on the shaft before removing the rack. That way the rack holds the shaft from turning.
do you have to re-center the new steering rack?
You should take it to an alignment shop after repairs. This will readjust the tie rods and straighten out the wheel if crooked 👍
Hank you
Thank you
You're welcome 👍
Wtf I saw you use regular power steering fluid I just replaced rack and used regular fluid now pump shot bled perfect
@@macd9861 The original power steering fluid is ATF+4. The Prestone universal power steering fluid is compatible and shouldn't cause pump failure. If it's noisy I would let it sit overnight with the cap off and redu the bleeding procedure.
Is this a 2wd Dakota ? Cause I’d imagine people who own a 4wd one have to drop the front axle down some to get the power steering rack out
The answer to my question is no, you don’t 😂. It wasn’t all that bad really. Just a messy job
Thank you for posting this question and your findings. I wondered the same thing and now I know. Now I hope I can convince my sons to get out there and do the work. Now I know.
@@SmudgyContenthey I need to do this on my 08 4.7l v8. Any tips? Thanks
Appreciate the follow up, I'm starting my repair tomorrow
@@Jay-vr8iton a 4.7 V8? Let me know how that goes and any tips when you're done if possible, I'm doing mine next week.. I'm more wondering about needing to drop the rack on the 4x4 4.7 V8 before being able to remove the lines
Bro your videos are so perfect, not only do you tell us the size but also the torque spec
Thanks! Glad this was helpful 👍
@ValleyMobileAutomotive Extremely helpful, I'm doing this job today and this made it 3x easier
