Steering Box Upgrade/Replacement

[Steve's Chevy]

Doesn't the 99 steering box have that EVO steering problem feature? I'll have to see if you can bypass it somehow. I would love to move the turn radius from my 97 Tahoe into my 90 c1500...

Yes it does, and it takes higher pressure to use that box that's why the steering is so much better ( or is it ) ..........On the other hand I just swapped mine from 97 to a 96 PS pump-box and lines and its soooooo much better..( Firmer ) I deleted the EVO BS

GM put out a delete kit because the EVO sucks so bad

i used a 96 pump on my 93 and well it is a new pump after 233k but it also seems soooo much better than the remaned unit that was in my friends 92.

So it sounds like I should get a 96 steering box and lines to put in the 90 c1500 and all will be well, thanks!

i didnt swap lines, i added my stock PS cooler from my 88 but everything fit as it was supposed to.

I only had to change my lines because they changed in 97.... And I went back a year sooooo.....

So, if im reading this right, 98-99 2wd suburban/tahoe box (2wd) is a direct bolt in to my 95 (2wd) and has a quicker ratio, better feel, and a little more syeering angle for tighter turn radius. Same pump and lines and everything?

My box started leaking right after i just put in brand new lines and pump.....

There are several part numbers for the Saginaw gear boxes, here’s a discussion that goes into more specifics...

RedHead offers a box for 88-96 and one for 97-99. The case is the same, so the difference must be in the internals. You might give them a call and see what they say.

alot of people do the hydro assist upgrades on their boxes when they replace them as well
