power steering leak

[sloan377]

I have a 2001 Durango with a 4.7 and I have a power steering leak. I've replaced the "o" rings on the "valve" in the bottom of the pump and on the high pressure line. The problem is that now I have no power steering at all. Does anyone have a breakdown of the pump and the bottom assembly? Did I miss something or put something back in wrong?

Thanks for any help,
Matt

I have a 99 with a 5.9 and the pump went out this April. It did it all of a sudden without warning. Naturally I go to the local auto parts stores (i.e. Pep Boys, Advance, A&A, Autozone). All of which tell me the worst thing you can tell somebody who works on their own car.....(scary music) It was a "dealer only" part. Ahhhhhhhh.....worst nightmare ever. I call up both of my local dodge dealers and nobody has one in stock. But good news, they were only about $250 effin' dollars. Ugh. After hearing that I lost all motivation to do it myself so I scheduled an app. with one of them and sent my baby away. In the end I don't know which was better.....the $400 bill or the fact that my arms were getting HUGE from driving that damn thing for 2 days without PS.
