Rear end identification
I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I'm just not using the right words to search for it. I'm trying to figure out what rear end I have on my 1999 2wd 5.2L truck. If y'all have a chart or just know please let me know.

You can also do a search here for the link to get a build sheet for your truck.....I can't remember, but think it is in the FAQ/DIY section. It'll tell you all kinds of things...including rack and pinion steering....

Me either...but build sheet says it is there. But in the meantime, I rebuilt the POS gearbox until I can find it....

SEAL in the first gen section explained it to me once
That big old steering box on our trucks was one of many types of steering boxes used back then. It is officially called a Saginaw Recirculating Ball Worm and Nut Gear. It was also called a rack and pinion at the time for short. It is nothing like the modern version of a rack and pinion but back then the modern version of rack and pinion did not exist. It contains a rack which is better known as the ball nut and a pinion gear of sorts on the pitman shaft.
