Default 2005 Ram 1500 4x2 steering rack and pinion

I am gearing up for some time off and need to do some maintenance on my truck.

What rack has been working for you out there?

The local dealer parts counter says Chrysler stopped making the rack. I see numerous brands through O'reilly and Napa locally. Some new some reman.

Thx.

Detroit axle makes 'em for a little over 200 bucks, and you get a lifetime warranty when you return your core.

Center the steering wheel, measure the distance center to center from the old tie rod ends to new, new power steering lines while in there...any other suggestions while having things apart and doing this repair? Thank you.
