steering issues
 
Hey I've got a 1997 Dodge Cummins 4x4 and for some reason my steering box keeps going out. My plan is to replace it with the Borgeson steering box and steering shaft. but i want to make sure that it is the steering box that keeps failing. I've been replacing it with remanufactured ones. could that be the problem? I also have a slight suspension lift on the truck. i believe its a 4" suspension. Does that have any affect on it? I'm currently running 35's. Any info would help. Thanks.

i'm running 35" on mine and have no issues, are you using the right fluid ? is your steering pump perharps burnt out ?

I replaced my ATF fluid with CHF 11s hydraulic fluid, steering was a lot better as it would seem like there was no powersteering when the truck was standing still..

All my fluids are good. My power steering pump I believe is fine cause I haven't had any issues. Could it possibly be the Remanufactured steering boxes that im putting in? Thats what I've been told. and before i spend the money on the Borgeson steering box and shaft i want to make sure its not something else.
