Rack and pinion

[Ramring]

Is anyone having problems finding an electronic rack and pinion for Dodge Ram. Been waiting for almost 1 1/2 months. The shop I have it at said the shipping company can’t find the shipment.

Do a search. 1.5 months is low by historical standards. But the new racks supposedly are 'improved' vs buying an older used one. So if price isn't a killer, it's probably worth waiting it out I guess.

Hope you get your truck back soon as possible

If mine ever goes bad il probably be the first to swap it back to regular old power steering lol already priced it out its about $600.

Sounds good, but ...Have others done it w/o much trouble? How would it play with the stability control, etc? And what about later trucks with driver aids? Will the PS pump just bolt into place? Would there be EPS and other error (failure) lights blinking all the time or can they be turned off? IDK the answers ...just asking. Seems like the trucks are designed around EPS.

But if it was a fairly easy swap-over on earlier tks, you wouldn't have to worry about expensive failures anymore.

Is there a write up on this? What parts does it use?

There's a writeup somewhere on here. If I remember right, the bolt holes from the different racks don't line up and he had to fabricate new ones

If there was an 'overseas' software that elimnated the EPS, for example where maybe Rams have hydraulic steering (Brazil or Saudi Arabia maybe??)). And maybe military usage? IDK.
