    You left out an important step in your Redhead commercial. It's important to flush and drain the power steering fluid prior to replacing a steering gear. You don't want all the crap in your old fluid going into your new gear. Also, some systems have a filter.

    the track bar is also one of the largest known causes for super sloppy steering on almost any dodge and i would recommend people to check the track bar before the steering gear box but both are known to fail early.

    Can't go wrong with a Red Head. Been using these for all our 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen trucks. We also use the Solid Steel Industries Steel Stabilizer to tighten up the steering with a "Luke's Links" adjustable tie-rods, and track bar. Really appreciate your focus to detail, and the time you take to share. Great content... thanks!

    The gearboxes for 2nd and 3rd gens are underbuilt for the Cummins. My first choice would be PSC. You won't need the steering stabilizer bar either. It's more expensive but it's a big improvement and the only brand new gear box you can buy for a 2nd gen.

  • @peltiereric6497
    @peltiereric6497 9 місяців тому

    Honestly I don’t even bother trying to remove the pitman arm from the steering gear most of the time I have replaced them on trucks. Normally I just buy a new one every time I replace a box because they are usually either stuck on there good from decades of service or were already replaced by a previous owner who failed to torque it down properly because they just used big wrench’s to tighten it up and then years later it’s vibrated loose and now the splines are sloppy.
    I will say I’ve never had any issues with NAPA steering gears but I’ve only used them on GM and Fords, never had to replace one on a Dodge yet but I have a feeling that I’m about to so maybe I’ll get a Redhead one since the Dodge steering gears seem to be prone to be more problematic than the other manufacturers

    @raychilcote5558 4 роки тому +4

    170k on my 3rd gen. Learned a lot chasing my wandering steering down. Before replacing the steering box, make sure other steering components are not having movement.
    1. Ensure no Track Bar movement (you did). Upgrade bolts to 9/16. Takes out 14mm slop. Make sure frame mounts have not been wobbled out. If so, weld washers.
    2. Upgrade to 2009+ setup (you did). This geometry setup helps prevent death wobble. Also requires newer pitman arm.
    3. Intermediate shaft bushings (often overlooked) on '94+. The coupler has a rubber coupler that gets soft through time. Heavy/large tires make this rubber a delay/non-response time for minor steering movements. Put these bushings in on any 94+, steering issues or not! You may feel a tad more road sensitivity through the steering wheel. But oh so worth the change. I'm betting many change out all other components, still have an issue, and never know about this $10 fix.
    Steering is tight right now. But I've had Red Head in my sights once the steering box gets worn.

    I put 3 redhead gear boxes in my 1997 2nd gen cummins in 8 years. The 4th gen box setup is the absolute best. You can buy the spacers and it bokts up. You do need to shorten the linkage slightly to make it work. The size of the internal gears and the increase in ease of steering makes it like nothing else. RedHead has a very limited warranty. They would not do anything for me because it would fail after the 1 year warranty. They are quick to blame everything but their box. Even after 3 failures they wouldn't discount or do anything other than sell me another one. They are better than stock but its still a under sized gear box for all that weight. If you run oversized tires its even worse. I was only running 33's. With 35's or bigger the box will fail even quicker. I have a RedHead steering box in my Duramax and have had no issues. On the 2nd gens they do not hold up. I still like the video but do a 50k mile update video and check play.

      Nordic67, I read your post with a LOT of interest. Mine is an 01, with only 108,000 miles. I had the front end lifted, only enough to make it level. Also, it's 4WD. Steering was progressively getting worse. Just 2,000 miles ago, I had new ball joints installed, 4 new Billstine shocks installed, a new upgraded steering shaft, and a new track bar. After all that, it was taken to get aligned. Seems like it really didn't really "Solve the problem". Have been told about Red Head boxes, but your comment, about them, worries me. Geno's Garage sells PCS boxes. Are they any good ? At this point in time, I don't care what the cost is, I just would like "That problem", to go away, forever ! There has to be a specialist steering shop somewhere in Northern California. Any other tips ? Thanks, Pete.

      @petermoale2116 Hey Pete, yes the gear box is a PSC. With my entire front end (4wd) being rebuilt the gear box was the problem. Also if you have the cash the Thurn Fab upgrades for the 2nd gen is worth every penny. I recommend you reach out to HMS Diesel they do a lot of dodge trucks. HMS Diesel is in Dublin California. Stay away from left coast Diesel. Ask for Nick over at HMS. Slowly I was able to upgrade all my suspension front and rear with Thurn fab products. The truck drives like a brand new truck now. Took many years and many headaches to get where I'm at. Feel free to respond again if you have any questions.

    Hey Greg, I’m picking up another 01 tomorrow and it’s an ST, looking for leather seat upgrades at least for the front, any recommendations man? I can’t find anything really. It is a manual so I don’t want a super wide top on the seats

    So this may be a stupid question, but you said its 4th gen steering linkage but your link was for an 03 to 08? Wrong link or is there something I’m missing 🤔

    You can pretty much eliminate it by putting a bushing in the steering column under the dash there’s like a rod thing in there and it slops around I mad my own bushing bc the price is dumb for the one people sell and dual fox stabilizers my truck has over 300k and it is really tight now and it drives so nice

      noahgray-jt4gq, I have noticed that too. My 01 has 108,000 miles on it, but steering is terrible ! 4 new shocks, new ball joints, new upgraded steering shaft, new tie rod, and after all that was taken to get aligned. Seems like it really didn't do any better. Now, steering wheel position is 90 degrees from horizontal ! Not hearing very good things about Red Head boxes. What exactly did you do for that stabilizing bushing ? Machine it yourself ? Installed from inside cab, or in engine compartment ? I work as a machinist, and have a lathe to make one. Thanks for your comment. Pete

    Redhead rebuilt my stock steering box after 125k and it came back with messed up splines. I sent it back and the next box they sent had significant slop in it. It was removed in less than a year. Did I just get unlucky or not? I have a supposed new PSC box now and it too came with slop. I'm really sick of this problem. The steering box play is the culprit to my wandering, all other components are new.

    Another informercial. Vice Grips Garage puts out an epic 1 hour 40 minute feature length will it start and 600 mile drive home with zero product placement.... I guess that's why VGG has 500k subs and GregA can build a new huge workshop and has a fleet of a dozen mostly identical trucks.

    Dad (elderly) owns a 2000 Ram 1500. Cops pulled him over for weaving too much. I drove it for him and its not him - its the truck. Unreal. Feels like my old Mustang with a severely worn rack. Will look into at least the gear box!

    Normally I follow your lead Greg but not this time. I've heard pleeenntty of terrible things about redhead. Hopefully it works out for you but im gonna go with a PSC. actually surprised you didn't put a 4th gen on it.

      @@bimmerDallasBikersUnitedDBUCan neither. PSC. Redhead and blue top are just remanned bullshit. PSC is almost twice the size because they cast brand new housing and have bigger components....they're also a legit steering company.
