Steering really loose
Well the ex needs some attention to the steering now. I can move the steering wheel about 5 inchs either way on the freeway. Hard to keep it going straight. Got underneath the truck and wiggled all the joints and couldn't get them to move.

Yes that steering box can be adjusted. Quite a few threads on the subject, here's a couple I found:

I must be losing my mind. Im at a alignment shop to get the steering slop fixed and they are telling me there's nothing wrong and everything is in good shape. But I can move the wheel from 12 o clock to 3 o clock one way and 12 to 9 the other way.
