Redhead steering box
My 2002 f250 has quite a bit of play in steering. And I'm looking to eliminate it. Tie rods are tight. Ball joints are good. Etc. I suspect it's the steering box.
Anyways I'm running 35s. Does anyone recommend the redhead steering box? Ive heard a lot of good things and a lot of bad. So I'm confused

Redhead has a good reputation. Have you tried adjusting your current steering box? There is another thread going about steering issues, that has good information.

I have had my Redhead for several years now and yes I highly recommend it. My 02 steers like a new truck. It's a fair amount of work to change a steering gear so might as well put in the best.

No I haven't tried to adjust it. But wouldn't be a bad idea. In just looking to upgrade soon I think if adjustment has no effect

I'm confused too. I've never really heard anything bad about Redhead. Can you share the bad, please.

On line reviews are a pretty good tool. One does have to understand that not everyone will be happy with anything. I check out the reviews and try to figure out if it is an isolated incident or widespread. It's when I read review after review of the same issue(s) that I pay attention to them. That and the ratio of good to bad as well.
