Red Head Steering Box

Tractor fluid.

Best of atf and hydraulic fluid in one bottle to suit all our needs. Might keep us from chasing the red heads around.

Redhead: $416 + $225 core

Blue Top: $300 + $150 core

Pretty sure I know which of these two gets my money, no matter what Doug Leno wrote in the TDR. Mike Nelson says they're good, and I save $$. No brainer.

I just got my 2005 Dodge Ram customers steering box back on Monday. Now Wednesday I'll go to install this box. I'll try and remember pictures.

 

I've got a Blue Top (Quick Ratio) in my truck and its Tight! Like Race car Tight! I did readjust the sector adjustment of the output shaft to get the last bit a of slack out.

I got my Red head installed over the weekend along with the upgraded 3rd gen style steering linkage.  What a difference, my truck has never handled this good.  No pulling and no play and my friend took the sacrificial steering fluid bath.
