I had my box rebuilt for the conversion project and developed a leak ...

Redhead took care of me even though they didn't have to.

Customer service like that should be rewarded. Thanks again!

 

Did you mean to say that Redhead had initially rebuilt the steering box?

I've heard nothing but good about Redhead's steering gears. I'll probably be purchasing one here in the next few months.

 

I own one.. just make sure you get a brace.. they are a powerful gearbox. I think I picked up some turning radius as well.

 

i have a redhead as well..no complaints here. truck turns nice, steers straight, my friend tells me the box feels tighter than his 01 24 valve dodge haha

 

thats not saying much! those trucks had pretty awful steering too!

As an aside I will be buying a redhead steering box for my super duty next month.

 

Thats why redhead has been around for so long.

 

Yup, redhead rebuilt the box, I had it on the truck for a while, the box developed a leak and Redhead took care of me.

 

That's great ! They're doing what they're supposed to... honor their warranty on their work.


How long did "a while" take before it started to leak ?

 

x2... I highly doubt every box they sell springs a leak but just curious like T. man is.

 

Every manufacturer.... and re-builder has a certain percentage of failures. It's just the nature of things, as no one person or process is perfect.


My gear came from http://www.powersteering.com/products.htm and he provides a lifetime warranty against failure of any kind related to his rebuild. I'm really surprised Redheads doesn't do the same in writing, although it appears they verbally will do so anyway.

 

ohh i thought we were talking about a woman helping you out on the side of the road J/K
