Hissing Sound At The Steering Column

[Rtetrault]

Hopefully, someone can help. I have 2014 2500 at 60,000 miles.

I started hearing a hissing sound when I’m in the cab, and it’s coming from the steering area.

When I push the brake, it goes away for a second and comes back.

Also, when you steer, it goes away for a second.

I read on other forums that there is a tube inside the high-pressure hose from the steering pump to the booster, and it can migrate its way into the booster and make a sound.

I checked the hose and did not see the tube inside coming out, so I don’t think that’s it.

My brakes and my steering seem fine, and my steering reservoir is full.

Any thoughts?

My 2011 was doing the same thing; in my case, it was the tube inside the hose.

I just removed the tube and reconnected the hose, and it's been fine since then.

I can't think of anything else that would cause that unless the tube is cracked and the fluid is leaking around it and causing the noise.

You might be able to take some needle-nose pliers and pull the tube out and see if it goes away.

Or maybe try replacing the hose.

Here's a link to a good video where the tube has come loose.

Thanks, there is probably a good 6” of metal tube that bends up and then horizontal, and then there is the connection that then goes to the booster.

I’ll take a picture of it.
