how do i adjust steering box?
quick question...
i saw how to adjust the box, but i didn't see where anyone said where the adjustment screw is. is it on the top of box? do i access it from the top or from underneath? how many turns should i do at a time? i have quite a bit of free play in my steering, and i had someone turn the wheel while i watched, and it looks like a lot of movement was lost in the steering box. thanks for any help.

RE: how do i adjust steering box?
The adjusment screw is on the top of the box towards the cab on the passenger side of the box. Its easiest to get to by underneath of the truck.
1/4" turns at the most, if you turn it more than 1 turn than the box will be shot or if you need 1 turn or more your box is shot.
If you have to do the adjustment than you better start saving for a new box because they dont last much longer after making the adjustment
