Default Rack & Pinion Suggestions Needed

2005 Ram 1500 quad, 5.7 auto, stock standard suspension and wheels, 110K.
Leak out drivers side boot. Still drivable but leaves a puddle in the drive.
I’ve searched the forum and some say rebuilt and others say go with new.
So we’re looking for most reliable sources with best buck for the rack for new and reman.
Already planning on the Moog TR ends also.
TIA

My pass side boot is leaking and I get a highway shimmy here and there. I think my rack has always been slightly fubarred form the getgo.
I only have 15k on the truck too. What I piece.

Local Dodge dealer is on another planet for a new R&P.
Still looking for most reliable sources with best buck for new R&P.
Remans are all over the place.

I've been through 2 Remans. I then bought one from Dodge new and it's been great. Just buy a real unit, you get what you pay for.
