RAM 2500 Truck 2WD V8-5.7L VIN D (2004)
Power Steering Fluid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar ATF + 4.
Mopar ATF+4, when new is red in color. The ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or
antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition, As the vehicle is driven, the ATF+4 will begin to look darker in
color and may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color
cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
