Cortese called me yesterday, recall parts are in. need to look at the rest of the steering this weekend and investigate exactly what this replaces.

I think I need a steering box. Truck has developed some play, and it's getting worse. Box is leaking. It's always had a drip, but when I parked it yesterday it was several drips. bah!

Interesting, right from the description on Rock for one of the boxes:
Quote
Front; 4WD; Power steering; WARNING: If the driver of this vehicle is experiencing "wandering" or "chatter", the likely root cause is frame flex, which causes excessive stress on the gearbox. Frame flex is common in this application and a brace will help combat this issue.

hundo plus core for the cheapest reman retail cost, that's nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.

No play at all in the leaky box. Grr.

Upper track bar bushing is shot. That's the only play in there.

My 'new' NAPA reman steering box is leaking now and since the day 1 it had that dead spot in the center. I'm planning to buy redhead's steering box sometime soon. I hope it'll not start one day suddenly pouring fluids out.

56# heavier, 1pt more gear oil, and 0.3" longer than the 9513.

Ratios look awesome. Can't find widths. Not sure I want to try to move my exhaust outside the frame again.

Should save the weight and go 9/10 speed. I don't need splits at all with the power band of the CR engine. It's as happy at 1400 as it is at 2600 and it REALLY pulls from 2500 well past 3k

Looks like this ate a water pump. Could use a fresh belt too.

All set. Just need a gallon of water to finish tipoff and some water and coolant for stock.

Belt routing is insane on this thing. And fan and shroud are super tight to the motor.
