another link , i took some pics to show where the nut is on here.

 

I try to post these instructions whenever the question pops up, so even though it's been done, here they are just in case this thread turns up in future searches.

Locate the allen bolt and locknut on top of the steering box. It’s close to the radiator. The locknut should be a 5/8".

Mark the allen bolt so you’re oriented and know where the starting point is, then loosen the locknut. Turn the allen bolt clockwise a quarter turn to tighten the gear mesh. Tighten the locknut and road test your vehicle.

Be careful not to over-tighten the allen bolt. If you do, the steering may become too tight and get extremely stiff during a tight turn, possibly causing you to drive off the roadway.

Keep repeating the sequence, turning the allen bolt a ¼ turn at a time, followed by a test drive, until you're satisfied with the performance. If you over-tighten the allen bolt, turn the allen bolt back a quarter turn, counter-clockwise.

There is a risk of over tightening the box and causing it to wear out prematurely, so I suggest you tighten it to the point where the slop is gone, and no further.

Most people will turn the allen bolt three-quarters of a rotation to one-and-one-half rotations before they’re happy with the results.

As Stewart said please be very conservative with your adjustments as a little can go a long way, test drive after each one, just remove the play in the wheel, it cannot make up for bad linkage, be careful a box set up too tight is in danger of sector shaft bind which will lock up the steering at the far limit of rotation and you will NOT be able to turn the wheel out of it, sooooo......that being said 1/4 turn each time, more than 1 1/2 turn you have deeper problems than an adjustment can remedy IMHO

 

Great Posts Stewart & Jim.

 

I recently adjusted my steering box and the slack is gone but now I think I have a stick steer problem.

Basically, at 50MPH and above, I feel like I am constantly having to correct the steering left then right, left then right. It will actually wear you out driving it. Any thoughts?

 

Check out the connecting "u-joints" in the steeringshaft (steering wheel to box). I had that exact problem in my 05 ram... the "lower intermediate steering shaft" aka u-joint in the shaft going to the steering box was pretty much gone.
