5 stars for the product! My issue is having to pay to return the core from Georgia to Washington. It cost me $80.00 to ship the $250.00 core back to Redhead. OUCH!
James (North Carolina) | December 27th, 2021
Perfect fit in my 2005 Chevy 3500 dually. The new gear is tighter and it has gotten rid of all the weird steering noises and the steering is much tighter. Super impressed with the quality of the gear. Don’t bother buying any other rebuild, but this and never look back!

Communication and Legitimacy… Spot-on! I chose XDP due to their East coast location and shipping time. The core returns were to WA, and the return time frame was irrelevant to me. The RedHead Steering Gear was shipped in the RedHead company box and easy-to-follow installation and core return instructions. The product lived up to all the positive reviews! The Amazon Pay was new, but a trusted resource that went smooth; utilizing my amazon stored payment method. If I need truck parts in the future I’ll be sure to shop XDP again! --NC, USA
