Well this will be interesting as I will be doing this very same thing to my 2000 Dodge Durango. The basics (according to the Hayes Book) is to.
1. If you have the 4.7L engine, disconnect the "pressure sensor" electrical plug that is on the top of the line next to the power steergin pump. unscree the sensor from the line. Larger engines do not have (nor need) this.
2. get a bucket
3. jack up and remove right front tire
3. disconnect the high pressure line from the Rack (behind the right front tire) (its the one with the very tight bend in it)
4. let it drain into the bucket.
5. While it is dripping....remove the plastic shield that covers the area under the AC Condenser and Radiator. (need room to work)
6. When it is done draining.....unscrew the high pressure line from under the pump.
(optional: you can take the pump off to do this....but then theres about a dozen more steps...although it is an agonizingly hard reach and requires much effort)
7. MAKE SURE THE O-RINGS came out with the hose...if not...get in there with a tiny something and get them....
8. put the O-Rings on the new hose...this is CRITICAL!
9. screw the NEW hose into the pump (opposite of step 6)
10 screw the hose into the rack (opposite of step 3)
11. screw the "pressure switch" back into the line....clip on the wires.
12. Take the Power Steering fluid in the Bucket....and dispose of it properly. DO NOT PUT IT BACK INTO THE PUMP! Unless of course you want to replace the pump, lines, rack. Spend the extra $20 bucks to save $1000's you cheapskate! ha ha ha
13. Fill the power steering resevior up.
14. Start engine......fill with PS fluid until full. turn wheels...fill with PS fluid until full. Drive truck around the block....fill with PS fluid until full.
Done.

it is on the pressure line off the power steering pump itself on the right side of the pump (if looking at the motor)
