Nice! Did your electric power steering go out all at once? At what mileage? Those racks are unobtainium at the moment, which is scary.

Fellow 2019 Ram 1500 classic owner here as well. Only at ~55K miles though. I plan to swap fluids in the front, rear diff and T-case this summer. I will do a drain/fill and pan change on the 8spd trans after I hit 60K miles.

steering rack went out just as I hit 100k, made a weird whining noise pulling out of wallyworld but was fine till I shut the truck off, from that point on zero power steering, put 5k on it before swapping it out for rack from a 16 I believe.

I planned on following the recommended service but it came up so quick never had the chance lol 130k highway miles is not the same as city driving. I dont daily the truck, only work.
