- 1). Check the Ram's power steering fluid levels, along with other fluids such as the coolant and brake and transmission fluids every month if you are driving a Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500 truck or once every 7,500 miles if you're driving a 1500, 2500 or 3500 van.
- 2). Park your Dodge Ram on a level surface and allow the engine to cool before checking any fluid levels as uneven surfaces or hot temperatures can cause inaccurate fluid level readings.
- 3). Locate the steering fluid reservoir in the engine department where it is labeled accordingly. Remove the reservoir cap to check that the power steering fluid level is above the low level mark, but does not exceed the maximum level.
- 4). Add approved power steering fluid, if necessary. If you find yourself adding fluid often, check the reservoir itself and the surrounding hoses and clamps to make sure that no parts have become worn, corroded or loose and replace parts as needed.
