Clean tight box. Has no leaks, it's what you should be able to get from any company but only a few care enough to do a good job.
Jesse (Nebraska) | March 18th, 2024
Really tightened up my steering. My old gearbox was shot. Install was fairly easy as well. Shipping was fast.
Charlie (Jackson Louisiana) | August 11th, 2023
At 384,224 miles my OEM steering gearbox had a serious leak at the bottom shaft and a bit of wear slop. I liked the description of the Redhead Steering box with the upgrades and decided on the 15:1 ratio. It went in with out any difficulty. Of course I replaced all the hoses, pitman arm, idler, and installed a mag filter on the return line. Had no problem getting the air out by cycling the steering wheel. My truck steers like new with ease and no slack. They have my recommendation! I also enjoyed a military discount. Order 2733372A
