Ram assist to Power Steering
Is the Drivers side radiator support bracket different on 2WD power steering trucks vs Ram assist trucks.....went to dry fit my power steering pump ( on my factory equipped ram assist truck) and the pump hits on the radiator support bracket. the frame does have the 4 dimmples as well. :-)

The power steering dimple is 1 large dimple. See this photo.

Re: Ram assist to Power Steering
When I added the PS to my truck I think I notched the bumper bracket, but I could be wrong it may have been the core support bracket.

Re: Ram assist to Power Steering
Yeah I see that now......it doesnt appear to be an issue though....my mounts stick out further than the cap on the gearbox.

Re: Ram assist to Power Steering
When you torque it up you may be surprised. Mine appeared fine too, but it definitely touched once it was tightened.
I have heard rumblings that there is a stearing box that will clear. Maybe you have one of those???
