PSC or AGR 4.25 or 3.5 turn?

Which name is better? Which turning ratio is better?

Summit sells the AGR is the 3.5 turn 16:1 ratio? Give me some guidance to buy a box. My box is pouring fluid and drives like a wagon down the hill.

I got a Napa reman and have been plenty happy with it. Cost wise it wasn't much either. Id have to pull the reciept, but it was pretty nice looking to me.

Just my .02

Mine was 4-1/4.

I just checked the ticket and it was $200 + core.

I've run a AGR box and pump on a Jeep and was very happy with their setup. They do make really nice stuff. I just didnt want to spend the money really for the truck. The stock setup is plenty good for me anyways.

Hope that helps.

Thumbs down Agr....

Stay far, far away from AGR. Their quality control is non-exsistent. So is customer service. My $$$ AGR Chuck loosened up after 1 month. I had to pull it out again and send it back for warranty work. When I got it back there was no documentation what so ever with it saying it had even be looked at???

I didn't feel like playing musical-steering-boxes, so a bought another $$$ and nothing to write home about box from Enterprise Engine that had a local rebuilder that knew their shortcomings rebuild them and do a few things to make them tighter. It felt is was a good box, but not by any stretch of the imagination, great.

I ended up put it on eBag. Started to feel guilty as hell when I started to take pictures of it. I felt it was junk. I promised the buyer if it was no good, I would refund the money in a heartbeat. I think I got a third of what I paid for it. It ended up being good.

Yeah, Ive heard that about AGR nowadays. I dont know, I bought that setup years ago for a Jeep when they weren't so big and places like Summit didnt sell em. Back then I was very happy and impressed with them and their service. Back in those days before the internet!

Good luck in your search anyways.

I'm on my 3rd PSC in a year. First one wouldn't correct after turning left, second one puked fluid during low speed manuvering, this one doesn't wanna correct when turned to the right. PSC has been real nice about warrantying the box but I'm fed up with getting one bad box after another. I'm gonna give them one more chance and hopefully they can get it right cause I really do like this box. Even at a dead stop I can turn my 35's with one finger.

BigBlue did you get the PSC SG-841MD. I'm trying to decide on a steering box also.

Should I just buy a NAPA 3 turn and take a gamble? The other major suppliers doesn't sound any better.

Now I'm really confused about quality products.

Like I had said, I just put my Napa box on and it seems fine to me. Looks nice too. All in what you really want I guess. I think these trucks are just to heavy for the box thats on it and a lot of us are running wider and taller tires. Seems like we need more of a medium duty truck box on there and not a light truck box. Well, Im going with my Napa and in another 90k I may have to put another one on. Going to look at getting the DSS and a new style track bar. That should help prolong the life of the box also from what Ive been reading here. I also saw CSK had a reman for $168+core. Now that Id consider a gamble, but might be just as good as the Napa box for all I know.

Well, theres my .02

Is $350 a good price for a new-the-the-box PSC steering chuck?

The stock box at Dodge dealership here in Nanaimo is $1300.00, no core...you tell me if 350.00 is a good deal!
