I know a lot of people go with red head boxes. And you get what you pay for on that I assume. But has anyone gone with anything else and had good or bad stories. I was thinking of just driving to the Napa .5 miles away and picking one of the premium ones the sell up.

Thanks.

Here is the result of my rock auto steering gear, they forgot to put in a snap ring during the rebuild and it blew out the shaft seal leaving me stranded. Luckily I was only 20 miles from home. Now I have seen stories of Red Head failures as well so take it for what its worth..
