Review: Good fit; works great. - Ordered this new pump to replace my original 96 Dodge Ram 1500. The original pump still worked flawlessly but had $354K miles on it. Being mechanical I just didn't want to take a chance on it failing out of town. The part fit perfectly but I also had new pressure line installed including the one to the fluid cooler. No whining or leaking . Good product. My model requires power steering fluid NOT ATF4. Keep that in mind. I decided to go with Lucas power steering fluid. Review: Will only last long enough to sell your car. - Lasted 6 months then it started whining. It was installed with all new hoses and had no leaks the pump just went bad. Put a used one from the junkyard andIt is still working 3 years later. Don't buy this pump. Go with someone else. ## Features - Cardone engineers new products to improve upon OE designs and eliminate premature OE failures - 100 percent computerized hydraulic testing is performed for proper flow, leakage and performance to ensure perfect fit and function - All units are built with premium grade seals and O-rings - Units are supplied with 100 percent tested and calibrated pressure relief valves ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000EPXV4I | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,771,972 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #3,025 in Automotive Replacement Power Steering Pumps | | Brand | Cardone | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (57) | | Date First Available | February 23, 2006 | | Exterior | Machined | | Item Weight | 9.3 pounds | | Item model number | 96-7953 | | Manufacturer | Cardone | | Manufacturer Part Number | 96-7953 | | Model | Cardone 96-7953 Power Steering Pump | | OEM Part Number | 52037606, 52039145, 52039145AB, 52039173 | | Product Dimensions | 10.75 x 6.5 x 7.13 inches | ## Images ![Cardone 96-7953 New Power Steering Unit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xKNpCw40L.jpg) ![Cardone 96-7953 New Power Steering Unit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qBRUnFmQL.jpg) ![Cardone 96-7953 New Power Steering Unit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61swi-2r29L.jpg) ![Cardone 96-7953 New Power Steering Unit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Rl2zHu63L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good fit; works great. *by V***Y on September 22, 2019* Ordered this new pump to replace my original 96 Dodge Ram 1500. The original pump still worked flawlessly but had $354K miles on it. Being mechanical I just didn't want to take a chance on it failing out of town. The part fit perfectly but I also had new pressure line installed including the one to the fluid cooler. No whining or leaking . Good product. My model requires power steering fluid NOT ATF4. Keep that in mind. I decided to go with Lucas power steering fluid. ### ⭐ Will only last long enough to sell your car. *by D***S on August 29, 2025* Lasted 6 months then it started whining. It was installed with all new hoses and had no leaks the pump just went bad. Put a used one from the junkyard andIt is still working 3 years later. Don't buy this pump. Go with someone else. ### ⭐⭐⭐ That was the good. The bad *by D***T on November 24, 2015* Well, it looks new. Did the install. 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. Pulled out the old factory that started to leak at the shaft. Installation went well with new pulley. Did not bother to pull old pulley. Used power steering fluid suggested by dodge (power steering fluid - 4). It says power steering fluid but as it is red could be their version of ATF+4 for power steering. That was the good. The bad? Whines like crazy, could be air in the system? Can't see any. Could be the power steering fluid type recommended by Dodge? Or is it the pump? Any ways may consider rebuilding the original as it was a great pump (original OEM), just started to leak. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/40645794-cardone-96-7953-new-power-steering-unit](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/40645794-cardone-96-7953-new-power-steering-unit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
