what do you mean keeps going out? well its a dodge lol there world class steering isn't too great but if it keeps going out like i think you mean then its time for a new tie rod

find out what parts are bad replace them adjust the steering box or buy a good one and buy a steering box brace.

Nothing Wrong With Dodge Steering or Front Suspension

The reason Dodge has a bad rep for the fr end is because alot of numbnuts install crappy lifts and death wobble starter kits, then wonder what went wrong. What do they expect?

Both the fronts on my trucks are rock solid, steer perfectly straight, no wandering pulling or anything at all unusual or unexpected. The 1st Gen has never been to a shop as far as I know, almost 100k miles, original parts, still going strong. The 3rd Gen has been lined up once since I had it, 2 years ago. Hasn't needed anything but one slight toe adjust since, which I did myself. They both run much bigger than stock tires.

The Dodge front end problem is an owner problem, not a truck problem.

i put a new steering box on it. do the steering frames really work that well?

What's the toe look like? Toe'd out alignment is the most common cause of wandering.

Ok make sure everything in the front end is tight, check steering gear play, check tire pressure if it's way high lower it and try it as that can cause a wander, visually see if you are obviously out of alignment, and finally if you can't find the problem take it somone who can.
