Power Steering with big tires

[DCSly1]

Good Day Gents,

2020 ram 2500 tradesman on carli pintop level, 37" tires. My power steering has always whined louder than any other vehicle since I bought the truck new. Occasionally when sitting still and attempting to turn the wheel I get no power steering, usually when pulling out of a tight parking spot. Is this something people are experiencing with larger tires on their trucks? All fluid levels are sat and the tires aren't touching the curb when trying to turn.

Has anyone upgraded PS system?

Hoping to find some assistance here.

Thanks,
Dan

Sounds like either the pump or steering unit are bad, even if brand new. I can turn my 35s with no issues.

Have 37s and pintop suspension. Have not experienced any of that, no.

Sine you have a diesel the power steering pump is also used for the brakes, so how well do your brakes work?

Try letting up on the brakes and turning, if it gets better it could be a weak pump.

I have PSC steering ram on my Prospector XL but I have never had an issue with 37s on any 2500, gas or diesel.

Did the prospector come with PSC or did you install? How long was the install?

Yea all XLs come with PSC. Its not a hard isntall
However. It’s swapping the box out, mounting the ram and running lines. It’s at the shop getting 4.44s but I can take some pics for you when I get it back

You should be able to drill and tap the box to do the power assist no need for a new steering box fyi not that you need to just anyone looking to install it who does not have a prospector

I wasn’t sure on that so didn’t want to provide that intel but that’s good to know.
