Anyone have a contact at LMC Trucks?

They have an adjusting tube for a 1/2 ton 4x4 truck years 76-85 but I need one for a 1993 3/4 ton diesel.

I called them to ask who the manufacturer was so I could contact the manufacturer directly but they wouldn't tell me...they only said it was made in the USA.

TY,

NY

Ok, searched the catalog, assuming you need the tie rod center tube. Offroad Design - Fullsize Chevy GM 4x4 Suspensions, Parts and Performance makes a great one that takes jam nuts instead of the clamp style. They even have a heavy duty version. Buy it, install it, love it. Lol

Looks like they have a version for Dodge. P/N DU9014D60HD for a Dana 60 axle (thought I had a Dana 70 in front).

Add the tie rod ends and it's $220 + shipping.

ive got the ord thick monster, 1.5" and looks like it would survive a head-on, I went with the moog joints, my '90 had a joint manufactured into the tie rod, as some of the other danas do, it finally got sloppy, I couldn't stand not having independent joints, to simplify future replacement.

Heavy Duty Steering Linkage tie rods drag links from Offroad Design 4x4 Parts




These guys have a 1 1/4" and a 1 1/2" set up not including tie rod ends (ORD, coincidentally).




DU9014D60HD'93 and older Dodge W250 and W350 with Dana 60
1-1/2" x .375" wall tie rod
Threaded 7/8"-18 R&L for ORD tie rod ends, also works with OE Dodge tie rod ends
Tie rod ends sold separately, see below

**This is a replacement for the factory tie rod on the diesel W250 and W350 trucks that the dealerships have discontinued and that parts stores don't support.

If you're re-using your own tie rod ends, you'll need a pair of 7/8"-18 jam nuts that are very difficult to find. See the link below. If you're buying our tie rod ends, they're included.**
