Ram seal drips. That looks expensive and I can't afford to fix that right now. I'm going to try some Lucas power steering stop leak.

If that doesn't work, is there a procedure for bypassing the power steering pump belt or can I "loop" the hose until I can afford a $500 ram?

These are a known problem according to my dealer. I would see if there is some sort of seal kit....I bet you can handle the rebuild yourself.

I had mine replaced, then decided to see if the old one could have been serviced.

Good luck with it!
