Detailed Description

Cardone 96-7953 is a new hydraulic power steering pump designed for Dodge Ram steering systems that require consistent assist and OE-style fitment. It uses an O-ring hose port, hose barb inlet, bolt-on outlet attachment, and a 16x1.5 outlet thread size. The unit is built with a cast iron housing and a reservoir, and it is engineered to match the original pump’s operating characteristics for reliable steering feel.

This part cross-references Dodge OE numbers 52037606 and 52039145 for the same application. It is a strong match for long-tail searches such as power steering pump for 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, power steering pump for 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, and power steering pump for 1997-2003 Dodge Ram van models.

What It Can Help Resolve

Hard steering at low engine speed
Whining or pump noise during operation
Uneven or inconsistent steering assist
Seal leakage from an aging hydraulic pump
Noise and vibration caused by worn pump bushings or shaft wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, flush the steering system and inspect for contamination. Cardone notes that an optional in-line filter must be installed for warranty coverage on listed applications, and OE fluid should be used with the supplied seal kit. If the original pulley has a loose fit after removal, replace the pulley rather than reusing a damaged one. If assist only appears at higher engine rpm, inspect the steering gear and binding components, since the pump does not determine steering direction.

Compatible With 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 3500, and 1997-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, Ram 2500 Van, and Ram 3500 Van applications.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests this new power steering pump using reverse-engineered original designs and computer load testing to support OE-level performance. Premium high-temperature seals and controlled bushing alignment are used to improve durability and reduce premature wear in Dodge Ram steering systems.
