I couldnt find a kit for my garrison style valve, so I had to replace the whole valve.... was worth the money , cause the crummy system works much better (Mine is a F 100 tho...) I also will admit to actually likeing the feel of this system, It works as Ford intendid it to, and havent had that many problems.

I'm a '76 4x4. The tires that came with were 13" wide. They ate the control valve. The thing is actually dangerous to drive. I'm trying to get a kit from the local dealer girl. I can't ID the Bendix or Garrison, so I'm gonna order the Benidix and return it if it doesn't work.
I'm wondering if the kit comes with a new ball stud and stud seats?

ejfitco, I would have emailed a reply to the email you sent me, but the site won't allow me to do that until I have at least 15 posts.

Thank Skeptic...Auto Zone, cool, I'm going to go that way. The kit only has a bunch of o-rings and washers. The rubber boot is shot on my actuator and tires that were on the truck really ate the ball stud and stud seats. Thanks again.

Glad I can help. By the way, have you been reading the thread about my steering. It's at this link- https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=347310
Seems like every time I add a new part I find another one that needs replacing. Well, serves me right. I once asked an uncle what would be the best way to learn how to work on autos. He told me to buy a Ford truck. I guess he was right.
