I got a friend that asked me about a power steering pump problem on the 04 Dodge Dakota's. I guess the pump has a screen built in and there is issues with the pump plugging up and wiping out the pump itself. Has anyone seen or heard anything about it?

If its similar to the pumps on a second gen there is a screen in the valve when you take the line off the back of the tank back side of the pump and pull out the valve the screen is visible might be a 1/4 inch in diameter its a small sucker. I think I posted an article here a long time ago spelling out the pupms on the second gens.

Ok Found the link in a different thread but I think its worth a shot. http://westtexasoffroad.homestead.com/powersteering.html
