I have been an observer and have found great advise i thought i would share my expreance with my wanderer.When i bought my 99 5.9 2500 it had very bad steering wander .I had all 4 balljoints replaced better but not good installed a lukes link better still but not right then installed a solid steel steering bracehttp://www.solidsteel.ca WOW what a difference like driving a new truck.

 

thats been around for a long time. But its a band aid and it also puts stress on the sector shaft.
I had one and took it off and didnt notice a difference. If your steering components are new, good and tight you dont need it. If you do a lot of offroading and modify the bracing bracket than it will save some steer boxes

 

is the one ton steering box the same as the 3/4 ton.a local steering guy will only warranty a rebuilt box for 1 year but 3 years with the brace.

 

The 1 ton box is a fixed ratio and the 3/4 box is the same as the 1/2 ton box (variable ratio).

THis local guy hasnt looked under a truck while someone turns the wheel apparently. If you put one of those braces on and have someone turn the wheel while you're under there you can see the brace felxing on the sector shaft. BAD news. If he did than he wouldnt have a different waranty.

If I were you I would either get a PSC box or go to advanced auto and get a 1 ton box with a lifetime warranty. With the advanced auto box, it may be a pile of junk that you have to replce every year but at least you dont have to pay for it.

But if you want a box that you dont want to mess with again definatley go PSC

 

where would i get a pcs box bering in mind i live in canada?Thanks

 

You can find the PSC boxes here: http://www.pscmotorsports.com/index.php?cPath=98_99

I'm pretty sure they ship to Canada.

 

yeah they will ship to Canada. Their customer service is great also.

 

looks good thanks for the link guess thats what i will due when my box is done shouldnt be very long its starting to show signs of oil weeping.
