Unfortunately, I think your both right HeyYou and Unreg...
New topic I guess, what do you think of Napa boxes? They're reman'fd by BBB industries and I can't seem to find a lot of reviews on them. Frankly if it isn't Red head or Boregson they're hit and miss from what I read.
As much as I'd love a Red head box, it would cost me a little over $800 to my door in Canada, and thats just not on the table right now..
Any reason I should completely stay away from a Napa reman?

Honestly, if I weren't going Redhead it'd be a NAPA box I'd buy just because NAPA has been my store of choice since my forever began and they've yet to let me down. I'd still perform the adjustment myself before installation just because there's no reason to risk that it came wrong.
I'd replace the pump and hoses, too, because all of the metal that has worn away from the gears has gone into them and the new oil with its new detergent WILL float a lot of contaminants out of their hiding places. There's no sense fouling a new box with the old one's dead innards.

Take a look at page 19-16 in your FSM. If it's the PDF copy found linked from the FAQ/DIY section, it's on page 1609 of 2889.

I think spec is only like 3 degrees or so.... which too me, seems awfully shallow..... There are specs out there on the web somewhere from a front end man, that has done hundreds of these trucks, that are somewhat different than stock, but, I don't have a link handy, google search should turn it up though.

Hmmm... I need opinions.
Locally here I can only get a remaned A1 cardone for $360 or a remaned AC Delco for $320... Or a JY OEM unit with "high KMs" for $150. I've read mixed reviews about the Cardone remans, but read horrid things about the AC Delco units...

Adjust it up before you install it.....
Or, spend a bit more, and get a Redhead, or Borgeson box. Do it once, do it right, be done with it.... Prices seem a tad steep on those reman boxes......
