Description
Gain control of your vehicle with proper steering when you add the RedHead Steering Gears 2869 4T Steering Box (18:1 Ratio) to your 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500. Every RedHead Steering Box is remanufactured from quality materials to be better and stronger than the factory unit. Each Steering Box is built for a direct-fit installation that fits in the factory location. Family owned and operated, RedHead has more than 40 years of experience specializing in steering boxes.
HOW DO I BLEED, OR PURGE AIR, FROM MY STEERING GEAR BOX SYSTEM?
1. After installing the gearbox, fill the system with fluid.
2. Raise the front wheels off the ground, do not start the vehicle.
3. Work the steering wheel back and forth, lock to lock, 15-20 times.
4. Leave the vehicle sit (overnight is best) at least 2 hours
5. Top the pump reservoir off again.
6. Work the steering wheel back and forth again 7-10 times
7. Have a person in the vehicle and another at the pump reservoir with a container of fluid & funnel ready to pour if necessary.
8. Instruct the person in the vehicle to start the engine. As soon as this happens, if the fluid level drops, be ready to pour in more fluid. The level must be kept at an almost full level or it will suck in air again.
9. If this procedure is followed properly, the air problem will be solved.

Notes:
Recommended For Dodge Ram 2500/3500 TrucksThis steering box is a 4-turn steering gear box, but if

in your core refund due to a parts shortage of 4-turn steering gear box.

I replaced a redhead that had served me well for over 400k miles. Can't ague with success.
Hunter (North carolina) | March 10th, 2023
I have had 2 Redhead steering gear boxes for my truck already, have a heavy-duty front end, on my truck, but the box always ends up with so much play, leaving a big dead spot in the wheel. I do not recommend this product. Save your money and go with PSC.
Omar (Amite LA) | January 20th, 2023
Love quality, but I haven't gotten core credit and it shows that the gear box has been received I owned an alignment shop, so I can buy more from here but core credit takes to long.
