If it is popping off from machine side, the outlet thread could be damaged. This both on the machine and on the hose.
If it is popping out at the gun end, there must be a clip that holds it in place missing. This I am assuming that you have the right hose for the right machine. Using hoses not intended, will cause a lot of problems. Even actual hoses, they never should be modified.

Hose keeps popping off ?

Try using a cable clamp over the hose. Check for any blockages that would increase the hose pressure, and resolve if needed.

My 2001 chevy monte carlo keeps popping the power steering hose! I don't know whats wrong with it!

Wild guess, there is an internal power steering pump pressure relief valve that is stuck or not operating properly and the pressure is going way above the rated capacity of the hose. May need a new power steering pump. Who is changing your hose? Some chance the hose is not rated for the pressures being developed by the pump.

My wife and i were driving down the road when i noticed the steering got tight and when i looked i noticed that the power steering hose had been dragging the ground and rubbed a hole in the hose,i noticed...

Of course the hose is going to pop off! It's under a lot of pressure and heat! By design, the power steering hose, connectors, and ferrules are pressure fitted together (called crimping) by using a hydraulic press.

Either go to your local parts store (NAPA, Pep Boys, Auto Zone) or parts department of the Dodge/Chrysler dealership and purchase & install a new hose.

You may have even burned out the entire hydraulic servo system.

Better yet, I strongly advise having a certified ASE mechanic check out the entire system; and let them install the new hose since the power steering system will have to be bled.

Lives depend on it.
