Preferred steering box?
My rig was in a good shop for other reasons; among the inspection items was excessive play in the steering box. I did RSK a few years ago and was please with the improvements, so it's not bad, but maybe could get a lot better. Anyhow...
What is the preferred replacement steering gearbox? Is Redhead worth the extra money? Are parts store (ie NAPA) boxes likely to be low-play out out of the box and durable? Thoughts and opinions welcome.

that appears to be solid.

I think both are pretty comparable. Both are leaps better then a stock box from reviews amd info ive seen.
Even my rig is still running a stock box still though. But when it goes, I'll he picking up one of these. Unless Clay makes a billet steering box, then I'll get that one 🤔

Just ordered Blue Top for my 95. Delivering early this coming week. Plan to install next weekend along with new moog cc844s springs. I will let you know how the blue top goes.
Just purchased several parts like upgraded HPOP lines, dieselsite’s coolant filtration and tranny return line filter. Every spring I get something new to replace something stock as a maintenance plan or upgraded stock. Had the truck about 5 years so eventually all the supporting mods and needed maintenance items will be completed then onto new stage 1s and efuel.

I feel the same too. But if the parts I put in last as long as the stock ones…. Well that’s 25 years on the major items, so I hope I’ll be done before that 😏. Then the truck will go to my son and he will continue the process, hopefully!
