Default Steering Box

I think the Steering Box on my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie Mega Cab is going bad.
I have heard that the steering box on these trucks are a weak link, is this correct??
What does a replacement cost?
Is there a better replacement out there than stock??
How hard is this replacement do to in your garage??

Thanks for the Help.

deck60,
I was looking at the Moog product on Summit. From what I can tell, they only sell the Tie Rod "Ends".
Does anyone make a Complete Heavy Duty Tie Rod Kit with the ends??
I have not found one yet, reason for asking.

I will check out Red Head.
I have been talking with ARG about their Rock Ram Kit for my truck. I had them rebuild a gear box for my 70 bronco and was super happy with them and their customer service. http://www.agrperformance.com/default.htm


Thanks again for the reply.
