[redneck391]

i have a 99 ram 1500 4x4 318 and my steering stabilizer shock was bent so i replaced it but in the process i got a new gear box and the steering is stiff wen it turns to the left and i alreadyreplaced the pump so im stuck any help would be appreciated

Take the stabilizer off and try it. If it is no better then it is probably the gear. The pump should supply the same pressure all the time and doesn't know the difference between a right or a left turn. Why did you replace the gear and pump?
