Maybe an old toothbrush with brake cleaner would help get that pulley cleaned up. Good video.

Cleaning the gear was not really an issue if I had it to do over again I would do it the same way with the sharp metal pick. It wouldn’t hurt to go over it with a toothbrush after you run the pick over it. The old belt guts are stuck pretty good. I would have removed the tensioner to make it easier. As for brake clean we do allow it in the shop because it smells bad. Bad like it’s bad for you. The best thing to clean brakes with is water. All of the stuff loose inside the rack housing were dry and compressed air did the trick. Thanks for the comment. Hope you have a good year.

I'm about to do some digging, but do you happen to know if this is the same R&P as ram was using at this time? Ram's issue seems to be electrical related, though.

I’m sorry but I have zero experience with the ram.

I got a question, how did you pull the bearing out so that it would give you space to put the belt onto the gear

@cookingintheshopwithmark1222 2 ай бұрын

The big bearing or the tensioner bearing.

What did you pickup truck did when the belt broke

@cookingintheshopwithmark1222 Ай бұрын

When the belt broke there was no power. You still had steering if you were strong enough. But there was no power assistance.

I have the same problem with a warning light on my dashboard . It says advanced track service and the blinker doesn’t work . Did you have the same warning light on your dashboard. I will like to know before I open the rack and pinion

@@antoniomaceda1943 the way we checked the rack was to put the front tires on the ground with the engine running and have one guy turn the wheel one way and then the other while one guy was underneath listening for the rack motor to run. If you don’t have a load on the front tire the motor will not turn. Use a screwdriver to your ear or a stethoscope to listen.

I guess you're labor is free....it would be cheaper to replace the rack

@cookingintheshopwithmark1222 5 ай бұрын

What are you talking about parts labor and tax was 574.00 have you priced a rebuilt rack only.

@cookingintheshopwithmark1222 5 ай бұрын

A rebuilt rack on rock auto ranges anywhere from 600.00 too 1200.00 before markup. Explain what you mean please.

@truthbetold2914 5 ай бұрын

$574.00 and you're married to that rack! Yes, I know the price of rebuilt and new. They have to warrant it, not you. You're not going to tell me you don't have atleast 3 hrs fiddling with that

@cookingintheshopwithmark1222 5 ай бұрын

They were going to sell the truck with no power steering because they could not afford to fix it with another rack and programming so it was done with the understanding that there was no warranty and he will actually make his money back from the repair plus some. Thats what we do for good customers. Normally I would agree with you on the married to it thing. Thanks for the comment
