Steering.
I've got another question and this forum has been great! I have the 94 PSD 7.3 and i'm not sure whats wrong with the steering. But if i turn it one way it turns just fine but going the other way it acts like the power steering isn't working. Any thoughts on that?

It's most likely a bad gearbox. I replaced mine a while ago and it worked find for a couple of days then decided it only wanted to turn right. Took it back to the parts store and had them replace it.

Yeah I think thats the way it turns easy and very rarely the front end will shake and makes the entire truck shake and if i turn the steering wheel it will quit so I should be looking at the gearbox?

Agreed. But pulling the last bolt and starting the first one can be quite tricky by yourself. I don't know how heavy it really is, but when you're sitting awkwardly under the front of the truck, trying to hold the box in place with one hand while turning a bolt with the other, the damn thing feels like it's near 100lbs! Having a second person there just to turn a bolt makes it a heck of a lot easier.

It's probably about 60-70 lbs of iron, so yeah, a second set of hands would really make it easier to do. It was a handful to remove the one from my parts truck by myself, and that was with the whole front clip off the truck. I can only imagine trying to work around all that stuff and get it started back on there by yourself.
