On a 94 dodge Dakota can you bypass the power steering pulley?

No, you cannot safely bypass the power steering pump pulley on a 1994 Dodge Dakota. The power steering pump is driven by that pulley, and removing it means the pump won't function. This will result in a complete loss of power steering, making the truck extremely difficult and dangerous to drive.

While you might be tempted to try this as a temporary fix for a broken belt or pulley, it's far riskier than simply replacing the failed component. Driving without power steering can lead to accidents due to the increased effort required to steer, especially at low speeds or during maneuvering. Repairing or replacing the faulty part is the only safe and recommended course of action.
