I need a little help from you guys. The next time you're under the hood, take a look at the steering column where it passes the shock tower. Let me know how much clearance you have between the column and tower. Mine is rubbing and I'm trying to figure out a solution. The steering column doesn't have excess play in it, so I may have to get creative and move the steering box or something.
Thanks.

 

96 3/4 ton, but, went and looked... there is at least an inch of clearance between the shaft, and the shock tower, gets closer to the frame where it passes over, than it does to the shock tower, and there is a formed in dent in the frame. (factory) If yours is rubbing, something is bent.

brb goin out to look, but I know it isn't close to rubbing the tower... you got issues somewhere buddy I would say

edit: lots of room on mine, good inch or more I would say...

 

Found out that my truck was wrecked before I bought it. The firewall wasn't straightened all the way and that's why its rubbing. I'm going to try to pull it out at my buddy's body shop. Thanks for the help.
