Add another up to the list of things to do! Thanks for the info Bryson!

Does anyone know what the taper is on the newer steering parts? I'd love to upgrade my sloppy steering to this setup. I just need to know what size reamer to buy. My truck is a 96.
|
So has anyone done this on a 99 yet? Very interested. Would I be looking at doing some tapering? Checked with my local dealer and the price is $350. Thanks for the help in advance.

Is there a detailed write up on this mod anywhere? My front end is a sloppy mess.

I have a 98.5 24v, would thta qualify as a 'newer 2nd gen' for the purpose of fitting this part ?!

How are you liking the Kore setup you put in as well? Is it just the leveling kit?

As far as I can tell, this upgrade should bolt on to '00-'02 4x4 trucks, and will require re-tapering at the least on '94-'99 4x4 trucks, but I make no guarantees.:tu: |
I would think this mod would work with 99 and older trucks too since many 00-02 trucks "upgraded" to the t steering system on 98-99 trucks. The taper would be the same correct???

Anyone tried this with stick 16" rims yet?

Just wanted to let everyone out there know, I just put this set-up on my 99 this weekend. Had to do just little trimming but everything is how it should be. Tappers are correct, at least on my truck. Much more solid that stock.

Pay attention to page 10 of the H46 Chrysler safety recall, which started the ball rolling on this gear getting installed on alot of earlier trucks a couple years ago. It works great, but is sensitive to joint alignment. Mine ate the first inner tie rod joint in under a year.
Most alignment shops are probably oblivious to this information. It is critical and can cause premature wear and even failure in service due to joint binding if not installed correctly. |
where do we find this recall info and how does is it related to the 2nd gen's?
