Steering box

Posted

My box has been seaping for a while as in wet nut, maybe a drop on the ground after being parked.  Imagine my surprise stepping out of the Jiffy mart to see a puddle.  Couldn't be mine right, after all it has only been seaping.  Checked after the next stop and sure enough the same puddle.  I had someone turn the wheel to the left as I was watching and it looked like a cow pissing on a flat rock.  I have been thinking about a Bluetop from looking at referrals here, but the website says "Out of stock".  

 

I already pulled the old seal and will install the new one when I get home early enough.  I am hoping it will seal, and stay sealed long enough to get a Bluetop when they are back in stock.  Guess my other options are Napa or Redtop if it will not seal.  I would prefer the added shaft support of a premium box and not just a reman.  What do you all think?

    Picked up the box this morning.  I installed the box along with 2 new hoses from Napa and a magnefine filter in the return line.  Put 20 miles on, so far so good.  Feels and drives great..  No leaks..

    I have a remanufactured box on the truck right now and it's 3 1/4 turn and i don't think I like it as much as the stock 4 turn. Seems like I'm having to play with the wheel too much driving on the hig

I have had the blue top in for two weeks and still gets the thumbs up from me.  Very responsive to even the slightest imput.  The box is the latest steering mod and made a difference on its own.

I think that's what we will try and a maybe a steering brace.

Definatly do a steering brace. I cant say mine is extremely responsive but its a ton better. gonna do the t style upgrade next. 

i need to send mine to get rebuilt, it has no power to turn 35" tires standing still. once moving it turns ok, its just weak and is worn.

Thought about the t style upgrade as well. Anything should help a little bit at least.
