Sorry took me awhile to get back , pepboys charges $200 for install , took it back and they put a new pump in and said that was the problem , but isnt , still tight even know my pump was going out , so back to pepboys to replace steering box under warranty , they had me pull my truck in and the guy was directing me and tore my front rim up and they covered the cost of the rim and summit doesnt sell my rims anymore so now I have to buy all new rims , so I ordered the outlaw 1 american racing wheels , another costly day and still have bad steering , will post if they fix it .

Pepboys mechanics are telling me that I need to drive it for 2000 miles and should loosen up that the seals are new . What do you think ?

The term "Pepboy mechanic" is an oxymoron, they're blowing smoke up your a**, i'd demand a complete refund and just buy yourself a GOOD steering box.
