Dorman Introduces Innovative OE FIX EPS Rack for Ram Trucks
Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM) has proudly unveiled the aftermarket’s first comprehensive electronic power steering (EPS) rack designed specifically for over two million Ram pickup trucks. This groundbreaking product is the result of extensive research and development carried out by a dedicated team at Dorman.
Combining Innovation and Practicality
According to Eric Luftig, Dorman's Senior Vice President of Product, Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing, the company’s unique capabilities empower them to effectively design, engineer, and test complex automotive assemblies. The new EPS rack exemplifies their commitment to delivering innovative and first-to-market repair solutions for vehicle owners.
Enhancing Vehicle Performance
Many Ram trucks, particularly the 2013-2024 models, face issues with their original EPS racks due to moisture and debris infiltrating the control unit, leading to performance failures. Traditionally, vehicle owners had limited options for rectifying these issues, often resorting to the replacement of the entire assembly with expensive original equipment parts, seeking high-mileage salvage parts, or using remanufactured assemblies that may not perform reliably.
Advantages of the New EPS Rack
Dorman's OE FIX EPS rack is engineered to overcome these challenges by offering superior quality and performance. According to Luftig, salvage and remanufactured racks often contain components that have undergone extensive wear and tear, making them a temporary fix rather than a permanent solution.
Reliability and Safety Standards
The new EPS rack meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and incorporates significant design upgrades. Enhanced surge protection and improved electronics layout have been established to minimize heat generation and electrical interference. Additionally, a protective coating has been applied to the circuit board to guard against contamination from various harmful elements.
Effortless Installation Process
Dorman takes pride in ensuring that installation of the EPS rack is simple and user-friendly. Vehicle repair shops will find that no dealer programming is necessary after installation, thanks to Dorman’s proprietary software that mimics the original EPS functionality seamlessly. This feature allows many repair shops to use standard calibration tools already familiar to them.
