I have a 2002 dodge 2500 4wd with cummins fiesel and 6 speed i added power steering fluid becuase it was a little low and when i drove the truck the brakes locked up and had no power steering what could be the problem

code p 0252 refers to injection pump A rotor/cam--range /performance problem===causes injector pump
have a cummins repair shop properly diagnose the pump problem

Could be air in system make sure you have enough fluid in power steering

check the power steering fluid level, Mine did that too on my wifes car,, fluid was so Low I had air in the system, fill the fluid it will bleed itself out,, check the idle speed also, It may be set too Low

My recommendation is to have the problem fixed before it turns into added expenses of towing, possible overnight hotel bill and food on the road....

power steering fluid does NOT go anywhere near the boot.but when you fitted a new rack did you turn steering wheel fully left and right several times to prime the rack and then check the fluid.....half a quart is a lot of fluid to add to the system (change your mechanic ASAP)MY BICHON COULD DO BETTER....

Yes they have power steering.

power steering need bleeding if your reservoir was dry when you added fluid if.fluid was okay not too low.your power steering pump could be faulty.the cold weather will effect it.

Hi sandav,

In response to your question, fluid can be low and more may need to be added. Any repair would be on the way it got low, fix the leak.

If it is low, steering at slower speeds will be difficult. An upper body workout. .

If you are having difficulties, post the symptoms you are experiencing. Might be able to help

Could be belts or some fluid on the engine( power steering fluid) if your steering feels strange.
