There is a pressure relief valve to prevent the pump locking up and destroying itself. You will hear it working when you hold the steering hard on full lock. Otherwise the fluid is recycled back to the reservoir through the valves until you turn the wheel and that upsets the valves which close off until the wheel movement stops and no fluid is let in or released until the wheel is again moved.

Another is that your fuel pump us going bad and you would need to check the pressure. Your throttle position sensor may have gone bad. Your idle control valve is another. Your map sensor or mas sensor could be bad

I recommend you to go to your local Autozone store and ask them to check your vehicle for emissions and other engine problems. This is a free service. They will show you a print out of the probable causes of the problem you are having and the cost of the parts you need to fix your vehicle. I do not work for Autozone, but the reason I recommend them is that I have learn a lot about cars problems because their free of charge advice and they have saved me a lot of money. Some mechanic shops will charge you to check your vehicle and try to fix unneeded problems. Autozone will loan you the tools, equipment available, such as AC vacuum and testing equipment and other needed tools to fix your car issues. The only thing is that if you borrow any equipment or tools, they will ask you for a deposit or credit card in the event that you do not return the equipment or tools borrowed on time.

OBD2 Stands for On Board Diagnostic Version 2 CANBUS means Control Area Network Bus CANBUS is a communications protocol that allows devices and computers in a modern car to communicate with each other. It allows modern vehicles to have such functions as increasing the volume of the stereo as you speed up and slowing down the windscreen wipers when the car stops. OBD2 is a standard for fault reporting and transmitting real time data on how an engine is behaving to an external device connected to the diagnostic port in your car. This may be a handheld OBD code reader device or a laptop equipped with suitable diagnostic software. If you had a CANBUS capable OBD device connected to your car's diagnostic port then it would use the CANBUS protocol to exchange data with your cars on board computer systems. With some devices this can be a 2 way exchange and can allow you to upload new engine software for better performance and program some of the other functions of the car like whether the central locking unlocks the drivers door or all the doors on the first click of the remote or requires two clicks to unlock all the doors.

That's because there is no pressure when you let off and the clutches dissengage.Dodge Ram rear ends are a "chronic" problem if you read up on them a little.IMHO,if you feel the truck is worth keeping then either find someone that can pull the nest and take a look inside.Odds are (to spare the technical explaination) it wore right through and is not even rebuildable... If it were me,I'd find a "rebuilt" as opposed to buying a used one from salvage yard and ending up "exactly" where you are right now... Best of luck P.S. If possible try avoid obtaining a posi-traction and you may have considerably better luck with longivity...(you can learn the type by VIN# and calling dealer)

then you need to find the fuse that's blown

Try replacing the bulbs before panicing. When you replace, put dielectric grease in the sockets to resist corrosion and improve the conductivity.

first you check if the pump is noisy when you work it.if so ,check if any of the hoses is leaking alone the way to the winshield. if there is no leak ,the pump is weak and will not deliver.you must replace, if there is a leak , replace the hose or fix it.

Change the filter first. The tranny may have some worn parts in the valve body or the reverse clutch may be worn too.
