Hi all, I just picked up a 2001 1500 4x4 w/ around 90k on it. It has the 5.9l and seems solid as a rock. I thought it was all fine and dandy till i got on the freeway and could barely keep it on the road, likes to wander a bit.<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"> After a few different shops shook down the front end, i went for an alignment and left with what i arrived with, a truck with its own mind. Been looking on the web a while now for an answer, and the best i could find was a steering box problem. </P>


So i guess my questions are: Has anyone else had this problem and found a permanent solution?</P>


Is there an adjusting nut similar to old ford type boxes?</P>


And how difficult is it to change one out?</P>


Other then that, I'm happy with the truck. Should have got it awhile ago!

</P>

 

If the truck has never been wrecked, I would check the tire pressure. My '99 2500/5.9 has E-rated tires, if I let the pressure below 50-55lbs. it hunts like a rabbit dog? I tried 45 for a better ride, it felt like one of those cars at the amusement park that has a center rail so you can't wreck!!
