Hi
I'm in the process of converting my 1997 ram to T steering with a full 1998-1999 kit i bought from ebay 1 year ago and now I realize that one part is wrong. I want to know which of these two parts are left hand threaded: es3497 or ds1459. That's weird they seem to be the good parts, good lenght and size but they're both right hand threaded M14-1.5 and thus one end doesn't fit the left hand thread on the es2012 coupling.

thanks!!!!

 

here is a good link with part numbers listed. maybe you have parts mixed up

Exactly what are you trying to correct? Please post back results.

I'm in the decision process on front end because all parts are new AND I'm still not satisfied with steering. Wander & shakes are gone but steering is still imprecise. (new Thuren TBar, ball joints, tie rods, steering brace, column bushing, most recent steering box is lifetime parts & labor A1-Cardone) Lifetime Firestone alignment so I go on the machine at will. Most recent (yesterday) alignment tech agreed steering sucks but didn't have way to correct.

Next attempt is a Redhead steering box &/or T conversion.

 

Thanks for the link nickg

The toe is always changing with Y setup and this summer i'll get offset wheels and 35" tire and I don't want the death wobble and sloppy steering. I already have the Redhead steering box and steering feel smoother, more responsive also.

 

I've had multiple AGR boxes & had different problems out of all of them. How many miles on your RedHead? 3 turn or stock? Do you recommend?

 

Junk Man, I've had a Red Head for around six months or so. Box still feels as good as the day I put it on! If you've got an unlimited budget maybe look at the Borgeson box and shaft, but for the cost of the Red Head, you cant go wrong in my opinion! I got the stock ratio box by the way. Hope that helps.

 

Almost 15000 miles, 3 turn, just drilled the pressure fitting on the pump a little larger to increase the flow at low rpm. The box still feel strong and I love that quicker ratio, don't feel like i'm driving a wheel loader like before.
