I found a good set of PS hoses from Rockauto last year for my 92 Dakota, can't remember the brand, but it was a major one. Maybe Goodyear, I think. Affordable and worked fine.

Thanks Bob, I'll see what they have.

I found several PS pumps at a wrecker 50 miles from me so I'll drive over to see what they look like. Rock Auto had a Gates hose for less then $20 and if that is the right part, they are getting another order from me. At that price I'll probably replace both of them.

I think I got the PS hose from Rock. Many years before that I bought a kit to rebuild my PS pump and rebuilt it myself. It was not difficult to do.

That was it, I bought Gates for about $23. I replaced it proactively in my truck, the metal part was corroding because it was underneath the battery tray. I decided to get parts for the 20-yr old truck while I still could.

I asked a friend if there are any rebuild shops around here and he said "no". If I knew what was involved I might be able to do that too. It still works so many something as simpe as new gaskets would do the trick. I'll see what I can find on the www.

They had 4 brands total but Gates was the only name I recognized. That's the replacemnt serpentine belt I have on there now (NAPA made by Gates). All the rest were less expensive and a couple were closeouts.

The tech told me to add PS fluid with conditioners and it was low so I added a few ounces. When he has it up in the air for the front suspension we will see where that stands.
