As far as I know there is no sensor on the power steering ,, so ill say no

Have you checked for thrown codes ... key on key off , key on key off , key on and read the codes on the trip odometer that will blink on if any , if no codes it will say none ....

I had codes P0051, P1492 and P0432 ... all related to the catalytic efficentcy .. I found that Bank 2 senor 1 ( driverside upstream , closest to the front of the truck ) wire to the O2 sensor was sitting on the cat.. I moved it and disconnected the battery to rest the codes drove it around for a while and tested the codes again .. None of those codes have returned .. ill still be replace my O2 sensors especially the one that was sitting on the cat converter .. your could be as simple as that .. catalytic convertors arent cheap so hopefully it wont need that .. O2 sensors can be bought pretty cheap online . Mopar charges out the ask for them , CRAZY !

That was,my Dakota and not my 10 ... but the same above applies !

My exhaust is done now too, Belanger headers and full Magna flow. Wonder if its the O2 like you said ?

 

[VIPR PWR]

Could very well be ... If memory serves me the 02's have caused the codes to throw . There were threads on here about that years ago on header instals and cat deletes ..

 

[VIPR PWR]

Maybe someone that has installed headers will chime in with their experience

Thx gentlemen, it shouldn't be too hard to solve this now.
