I have posted on here about this problem, but hasn't been fixed. I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota, It has 305/75/16 inch tires, a 3 inch body lift and the torsion bars are cranked all the way. Over the past year, I have put 9 pumps into it. Would the cranked torsion bars be the reason for it blowing the pump all the time?

Torsion bars would have nothing to do with the power steering. Are you doing a lot of off-roading? Continual inputs on the steering...especially when experiencing binding pressure (rock-crawling, negotiating obstacles, etc.) or just a lot of steering inputs at low speeds can heat the pump significantly, greatly reducing life expectancy

Since it is winter, I do hit drifts and mob around a bit. I feel like I am the only one that is having this issue! Any ideas? aftermarket pump you have in mind?
