Is any one runnin a borgeson or psc steering box in there truck?! If so let me know your honest opinion on it, either or! I cant deal with this stock box any longer so much play in the wheel! trucks always wandering its driving me nuts!!!

 

Really? no one has upgraded there stock steering box? how does everyone deal with the horrible steering?!

 

I sold my Ford before I pulled the trigger on a new box but I was very impressed with these guys after a long phone conversation.

The full size Bronco guys swear by red-head boxes. About the best out there.

 

Im going to give them a call see what happens... i cant drive this tuck any more i have 2" or more of play in the wheel and every bump turn even just goin strait down the road im always fighting the thing just to go strait N F G! i fig someone on here would have upgraded there stock box! is it worth spending the money on a borgeson or psc or should i just throw a rebuilt in?

 

I just ordered one of the Borgeson box's for my truck. I was in the same boat as you after replacing mine 3 times with reman'd units from the parts store (long story). Mine should be here in a few days and I'll post back my results.

I'd personally go with the Borgeson for a few reasons - Warranty, its a Delphi unit which is much better in design then the Saginaw design (from the 90's) which is all the RedHead box is. They just upgrade an internal seal or bearing for better feel but still retain the same crappy design as the old box. Plus cost wise they are about the same so I wanted the Borgeson. I got it from autoplicity.com who seemed to have the cheapest price with shipping - $350 to my door.

 

I've got quite a bit of play in mine too. Never really thought about replacing the box though, maybe I should!

 

Mine has play and wanders a lot. I just bought the borgeson box (after speaking with some members of other boards), a steering box stabilizer (Ebay $114 shipped), and a Moog track Bar ($100 from Advance Auto). I know I'm going to need a steering shaft soon because my steering box has failed twice now losing all power steering, once while plowing and once while towing my 5th wheel which put a ton of strain on the steering shaft (and my arms). Within the next few weeks I'll be buying a borgeson steering shaft as well.

 

Deff post back after you've installed it and taken it for a ride!.. you should deff make a video or somehing of the wheel play before and after.. im very intested in your turn out!im leaning tward the borgeson steering up grade it runs around 975 for the box, shaft, pump, and hoses!

 

Just a heads up - I got the borgeson box yesterday and its a nice looking unit made in the USA. I also wouldn't replace the pump , lines and shaft unless you really have to. The OEM pump and lines should be fine, the shaft sucks though.

I also meant that the Saginaw design was from the 60's not the 90s my bad.
