What is the best steering box replacement? The PSC one looks like a nice unit, Borgeson sells a reman both are around the same coin. Then rockauto has three remans listed for 110-150. Anyone have any reviews on any of them??

Ordered crossover steering kit and dual stabilizers to hopefully fix the wandering steering. Already have a borgeson shaft. My '50 cummins power wagon drives as good as my '11 cummins and its got crossover steering and a saginaw box. All 3 trucks are running 35" tires.

Any thoughts on making the steering the best it can be? King pins and bearings are new...

Once you go crossover you shouldn't have any more troubles that's the best thing you can do too one of theses truck's I had great Luck with my box from napa never gave me any troubles

Can't go wrong with a Borgeson. What's wrong with your old one? Can I have it? I'm in need of one

Crossover is great but it has given me other issues, bumpsteer. Still trying to figure out what is the fix, need to find a dual inline steering damper but cant find one that is designed to fit the first gen.

We bought one of theres and it leaked oil fron day one, we called and were basicly tolled we were at fault ,and they would not warr. it. we installed a new pump and fluid and we have done this kind of work many times . we ended up fixing it our selfs. wont buy another gear from them . last one I got from NAPA for my 90 and its been a good tight leak free unit.

With a $400 price tag (with shipping) on the Borgeson or a new OEM one, I decided to hit the wrecking yards. Found a nice one for $150.

That's about what i paid for the Napa Box but being your up in Alaska I think you did the right thing .

I ordered a dual skyjacker setup, says it fits the 1st gens but I guess I will see. Not sure what you mean by inline but this one is end to end.

Nothing really, just that I took it off a 300 mile truck. I need another set of hands to check for free play. Maybe I don't even need to replace it. If I do though and don't need it for core, you can have it.

I may wait then, like posted above just figured I would replace it because the whole truck is "new" now. Also thought if I need to take it off for the crossover install that it would be the time to do it.

There is only one place that I would go again....although you do need time on your hands, as he rebuilds units from all over the country and needs a long lead time. He'll explain it to you.

Call Chip and tell him that " T. " from NJ with the Dodge Cummins Pickup referred you.

Yes end to end (inline) vs stacked one on top of the other. Could you send me the part number? I am looking for only the bracketry as i want to use bilstein dampers. A part number might give me what i need to order just the brackets.

gyman98

Thanks I'll give him a call

The part number is 9220

I don't see why a Ford 350 wouldn't work on our trucks. They have a D60 front too and all it would take is a flip of the bracket.

Thanks

I modified a rancho bracket setup to run a single Carli Bilstein 7100 that seems to work really well...likely alot better than two lower end shocks.

Have any more info on that? Been trying to decide on new stabilizer(s) and shocks. Was going to run dual 5100's
