power steering pressure hose is spraying on firewall is the only thing it could be, unless the vehicle is equipted w/ a hydroboost brake system then ck the hydroboost. this takes the place of a break vacuume booster behind the master cylinder
They don't, 2 separate systems...they can use thee same pump for pressure as in "hydroboost"system.........
Well sounds like you lost your hydroboost. You might have a power steering leak. Check your power steering fluid first. Over on the lower drivers side front of the engine.
Power Steering fluid helps to keep the steering of a car running smoothly. A Dodge Caravan uses Mopar ATF +4 for power steering fluid.
If you have a hydroboost brake system (on 3/4 ton diesel and some 3/4 ton 454 trucks) you will not have power brakes if you loose the power steering pump. However, if you have any motor besides the 6.5 diesel or 7.4l, you have vaccume assisted power brakes. You can tell which you have by looking at the firewall where the master cylinder is, if you have a large round pancake looking thing attached to the back of the master cylinder you have vaccume brakes, if you have a small hydraulic gizmo (you can tell by the three power steering lines attached to the sides of it) you have Hydroboost brakes that operate off of the power steering pump.

1996 dodge ram 5.9 power steering pully removal?
That is a cooler for the power steering fluid.
I suggest getting a new power steering pump. If your truck has a hydroboost set up, which it probably does being its a F350, The power steering pump supplies fluid to the steering box and the brakes for more braking power. To find this out, look at your power steering pump. There should be 3 hoses coming out of it. One Supply line, and 2 Return lines. The supply line should go to the steering box, then to the hydroboost which is on the firewall, driver side. It's not huge like the vacuum boosters. Then there should be one return line coming from the booster to the pump and one from the steering box going back to the pump. I hope this helps you out.
How can I remove a power steering pump from a 1997 dodge stratus es
In the power steering pump on front of the engine.
Yes. You can use automatic transmission fluid in the power steering on a Dodge Intrepid.
In the power steering reservoir located on top of the power steering pump. No pump then it has manual steering.
