Hello: I have a 97 4x4 5.9 ram on 35 toyo' mt . My gear box is leaking and have play in it as well ..so I've decided to replace it .Auto zone has one for $187.. Any good? The one on their now is from a J-yard only lasted 6 months should have saved my $50 and just bout a new one then.. Your suggestions are app-reached ! Thanks ron

 

yep, ive had mine for 2 years now with no problems. advance also warrants them.

junkyard was a bad idea

 

If your looking for a really good one, readhead steering boxs have pretty much the best one out there. Its a little more than the autozone one, but way better. The AZ one may or may not have bad play in it and may or may not leak. i have heard nothing good about AZ and heard nothing bad about the red head ones...

 

This would be a better choice, http://redheadsteeringgears.reachloc...reachlocal.net

 

The reason you will never get a good re-manufactured steering box from NAPA, AutoZone, Advance, etc... is becuase when they re-man the boxes, they do not replace the internal gears (which 9 outta 10 are worn out). So you get a cleaned up version of what you took out of your truck. You need a box from someone who replaces everything in the box, like Red Head. Or a new one like from Borgerson.

I'll be ordering my Borgerson steering box and steering shaft hopefully soon.

 

Thanks Ill be calling them in the am!

 

$286 for mine

 

How long ago .....I'll pay that if its that good . No one there now. I'll have to call tomorrow..

408 dollars (wow). But I am looking at them heavily. You also need to get their steering shaft for it. Another 284 bucks. So about 700 total before shipping.

 

Go with a PSC and forget about it.
