Hey all, New to this site but not new to first gen Dodge/Cummins. I have a question about the steering box. Are new boxes still made for these trucks or am I stuck with rebuilds?? I have had 3 Napa's and two AGRs all of them except the one I have now pooped the bed. The AGR I have now is so sloppy I can't stand it anymore. I know about the ajustment but... have been told by a few not to do it for fear of wrecking the box.

I may just try it but still was wondering is there any alternative out there!

Yes it's been checked by me sevral times and at inspection. I grease the front often and keep up on any issues there. It's the box for sure and it's been about a year or more like this, it's driving me nuts!

I would try adjusting it and go from there small adjustment's are not going to hurt now if you Crank down on it it might is the 4x or 2x ?and if 4x do you have a lift ?

The steering gear is a Saginaw and Mopar seems to still have them (part number is 5200 7280 for the 1991 to 1993 trucks).

Although I have no direct experience, a guy in Seattle (Harvey Foster at www.redheadsteeringgears.com) has been highly recommended by others on this forum.

You've checked your rag joint right? I hear that a sloppy one can wear out the seals on the input and possibly the bearings if I remember correct.
