So i have fluid leaking out of i think the steering box above the nut that attaches the pitman arm to it. Is there a seal or something in there that can go bad or is this a common problem? Not to sure about steering boxes.

 

Yep, pitman shaft seal. It is even replaceable...... there was a DIY posted somewhere for it.... not really all that bad, and can even be done on the truck. Taking the fan, and shroud off would make it MUCH easier.

 

dang i thought i have seen all the diys so far i guess i will have another look. Thanks.

 

Not sure if i found it on this site, or if it was linked from somewhere else......

 

well either way its good to know i wasnt sure if it was going to be replaceable or not. So now that i know its back to work
