Description of the problem	A week before taking in my 2005 ram 2500 truck to have it looked at, i noticed that the steering had changed. The truck wandered, there was a vibration in the steering wheel, and mid way through a turn the steering wheel would lock up. Three days before taking in my truck into the dealer, the steering gear box started to make a growling noise. After taking my truck in to have it looked at, the ase tech that was given to work order for my truck declared it safe for road use. 8 hours later after pleading with the head service manager to take my truck for a road test, the steering gear box that was deemed safe by the ase tech was condemned by the head service manager. To date the new steering gear box is on order from another dealership even after i was told by the service managers at john elway dodge that the part was in stock. *jb
