Steering Problem 93 W150 - Need Advice
#11
I think you're right about the aftermarket Pittman, I'll switch it back to the stock one.
The drag link is not adjustable---NAPA replacement part. Matched the stock link well but I haven't cleared it of suspicion yet.
I'm slow getting around to moving forward, finding a solution but I will.

Fixed thanks to the good advice from many here
Sorry for letting this thread get stagnant and I want to finish it off. I had a personal matter that took several weeks of my attention, so I hope I'm not viewed as a scofflaw around these parts.
I work on historic structures and often the are several causes to one problem and the steering on my truck was multiple little things.
Much thanks to those that assisted and I hope the info shared here will help others. Mopar or Nocar!

- switching to a borgeson shaft and rag joint helped
- the tires were pretty low quality and the rubber was feathering, new BFG 30x9.5x15 helped
- the 2" drop pittman was removed and a stock pittman back on helped a lot. In retrospect I did not raise the truck much considering the saggy leaf springs that were removed, even though the springs were listed as 2" rise it only raised about 1"
- changing the caster 3 degrees helped a good bit too, the alignment shop that got it right told me that was the only adjustment they made
