Default Steering Gears And Shafts

Who makes a good quality steering gear for my truck? Mine is leaking and it's sloppy so I figure I might as well start looking for a good one.

How about a good steering shaft too? Borgeson still the place to go for those?

Not trying to hijack but Ive heard we can adjust the lash in the steering box to take out some play, Ive got a loose one as well and was wondering how this adjustment is done.

I adjusted that last year. It was better for awhile but it's getting bad again. I'm done playing games with this POS.

Yeah I was looking at AGR but they didn't seem to have what I needed.

So I wonder with as strong as PSC builds their stuff if I would need a DSS with one of their gears.

PSC is another one of those companies that seems to hav a quality control issue. When you get one that works they are the greatest mod you can get, but it seems to be iffy when your gonna get a good one. Gettin the right one was also the big issue talked about with them. Seems like a lot of guys have been on the sites through the years complaining about them not fitting only to find out they have the wrong kit.

No personal experience on this, got ready to a few times and then found these things while looking into it.

i am going from experience fro mall the feedback from www.pavementsucks.com , that is what about 30% of the dodges over there are running, alot of guys swear by them, and alot of those guys wheel those trucks hard.

So if I'm reading their info correctly I guess I wouldn't need a pump if I got one of their gears as long as I'm not rolling on huge rubber or wheeling it?

This sound right?
