I've had 2 power steering pumps break on an 04 Ram 2500, has anyone had this problem as well? I am running 22inch rims with 305 tires. Maybe that is what's causing this? IF it is, does anybody know of an upgrade or heavy duty power steering pump?
THanks!!

I believe your problems are due to those big wheels, that is a lot of weight to twist and turn, especially at low speeds. I have lost two pump, I'm on my third, but they were due to leaking problems. The vibration dampner seems to have solved that problem.
