    Corvette Steering Box Swap?

    @df2x4 and alot of these people on here are completely right. your steering slop NEEDS to be fixed before you ever change the box! i got my slop completely out by replacing pitman and idler arms as well as checking the ball joints and tie rods after which i adjusted the box and it had no more...

    454SS steering box swap. NEED HELP! P/S pump

    interesting. yeah they use the same housing and even the casting numbers are the same but the ratios are usually different. at least they came different in my box. on the autozone website it said 2.5 turns lock to lock and when i purchased it and put it in i can confirm 2.5 turns lock to lock...

    454SS steering box swap. NEED HELP! P/S pump

    well if you know what your truck will do then in a panic situation you probably wont compensate as much. and it really isn't that much more sensitive than the stock box. I haven't once felt like i was going to flip in my truck because of the qr box.

    No air on driver vent only

    I've had these problems before. the whack you may have heard could have been from the linkage unbinding itself and not just the rubber degrading. I've also had the sticky degrading rubber cause it to stick a little but from the amount of pressure you said you put on it i doubt it. it should work...

    454SS steering box swap. NEED HELP! P/S pump

    haha no i've replaced everything in the front steering. new idler and pitman arms. after i decided i needed a new gearbox and thought i might as well try the quicker ratio box. Not sure i get roll over concerns since the qr box doesnt make the turn travel any further. if you turn it fast at high...

    454SS steering box swap. NEED HELP! P/S pump

    Really? The front end suspension is a lot different but the steering components are identical. I looked up stock steering gears for both the 4x4 and the 2wd and they are the SAME. Therefore I used the ss box and the only problem I had was bleeding it and after that it was great. The reman pumps...

    4x4 Actuator works, transfer case engages. but the wheels still dont turn

    alright thanks. but they do have a 410 geared 8.25 front gear right? 8.25 or 8.5 i cant remember but you know what i mean edit: and from what i heard the majority of k2500 6lug trucks came with 410s? or did the majority come with 373? i know mine came with 373 but i also have a 5speed so i...
