Just wondering if anyone has installed a new steering box? I have a red head box sitting on my bench and am wondering if there is anything if I should know before I begin.

 

ive replaced the one in my truck. just make sure and get it purged out well lots of turning back and forth and i left it overnight then turned back and forth a ton. want to double check the slack in the box just to make sure when ya get er in too.

 

nice. i want to drive over there and pick one up in seattle myself. let me know how it goes. did you have the less splined one or more splines? i know one costs more than the other. one of these days i will get around to it.

 

Uh oh, Did I miss something? They didnt say anything about the splines being diffrent.

 

yeah both times i have talked to them they have asked me. one has like 32 and the other 36. just count em i am sure you will be fine with the one they sold you.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Good to know before I tear into it.

 

yup no problem. i was just curious as to which our year trucks had when i was asking you originally. i have just been to lazy to crawl under there and count them. i havent looked in a while but i think the pitman arm has to come off to count which is pretty simple with a puller. good luck make another post once you get it done. this is something i am really interested in. thanks ryan

 

I have not checked the truck but they sent me the 36 spline. Hopefully that is the same as the truck. I will confirm when I get going on the swap, Sunday probably.
