Angry Steering gear

Have a 99 f350 psd 4x4. Would the steering gear cause the steering to react late? When I turn the steering wheel the truck takes a while to react to the turn of the wheel. I constantly have to over compinsate. Brand new drag link installed from the pitman arm to the tie rod.

1999 f350 psd

it has 98,000 miles. It was however, a ranch truck. Would the gear cause the truck to perform like this?

If there is slop in your steering box, it would seem you were turning the wheel a bit before the wheels reacted.
You can adjust it some, but Im not sure how much you will make up. Are your tie rod ends in good shape?
