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.

Your box could be worn, how many miles?

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?
