I actually stole Sharecropper’s idea when I decided to go with the replacement joint. Not sure which one he went with but I chose the chrome moly steel “racing” joint. Initial impressions are very good. It is a $100 part but there will be no room for slop in the linkage. The little steering...

Dayum good information! I spoke to Chris at ORD and he explained that I would have far less stress on the steering box and frame with hydraulic assist but that the reinforcement was insurance. I may go ahead and order the reinforcement but the hundreds of dollars are starting to add up and...

I have the ARP studs and tapered nuts. They are not pictured. I guess I need to source various pullers, etc. they make attachments for my air hammer to separate the rod ends. Any other specific tools you can think of? I have a decent box but I know there may be something I need that I don’t...

Parts are almost all here. Waiting to swap out the 4WD steering box for the 2WD one for crossover steering. Too many to upload so here’s a link... https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0NJEsNWnGM01Yf;52F511B8-B369-4426-82AC-3E77B84095CA what am I forgetting?

PSC recognizes that they made an error and is shipping me out the right one and a return label for the incorrect one... It is good to see customer service.

and it looks like PSC sent the wrong stinking steering box after me waiting for a month on this... frustrated...

yeah, I looked at WTOR but I don’t have a lot of confidence in my existing steering components so I just decided to replace it all with new stuff.

Tie rod mounting... I may be able to use the mount from the old factory steering stabilizer and then weld two tabs to the new tie rod. Just trying to figure it all out.

I’m doing everything from the rag joint up to the steering knuckles new. It will be a combination of ORD and PSC parts. The final tally is $2050 for the different items needed. I hope like heck this ends the steering problem for good. I am adding a set of 1” zero rates up front for extra...

I bought the PSC SG041MR which I had ported as an option for hydro assist should I decide to do it "later". I had no idea that later would be now but it worked out this way. The box is a 13-16:1 variable ratio, or course 2WD for crossover steering, I bought it from ORD and they had PSC drop...

I have put up with crappy steering long enough. I am going to try to document the entire process once I get started. I received all of the crossover parts from ORD a few weeks ago but the PSC box took a little longer to arrive. Look what came today! Soon, I should be steering comparable to...

I am not welding tabs to my ARB diff cover. Does anyone have a hydro assist ram mounted and functioning that I can look at?

I know you have done your homework. I have decided to go “all in” and do this right. I’m going 100% ORD on the crossover steering and non hydraulic parts. I liked the ORD drag link so much that I wanted a matching tie rod. Ordered it today. I am also going full hydraulic assist using 100%...

Appreciate the very good information guys! I am having serious issues with my stock steering right now. The most annoying issue is not being able to turn lock to lock. When you are on a Utah mountain with a one ton Chevy, you need all the turning radius you can get. I think that I may add a...

Trying to decide if I should replace my tie rod once I go hydro assist with an ORD tie rod. At present, I have the factory tie rod with the damper on it. Would the hydraulic cylinder on a new ORD tie rod serve as a damper as well thus negating the need for the stock damper? My truck drives...

Sharecropper, I owe my seats in mine to your ingenuity! Thanks so much... I wheel my rig. It’s kind of hard not too being in Utah now. Can you post a link to the universal rag joint replacement? I am going with a PSC 2WD box for the ORD crossover steering. I need lock to lock steering in...

As far as using standard hmmwv wheels go, about the best option is to use dually hubs on the front and 2” STEEL spacers on the back. I had Lenny Stahl make hub centric and lug centric spacers for the rear. I tried to go on the cheap and run 3” Chinese aluminum spacers initially and I’m luck to...

FYI - I have an ad over in the classified section for an ORD dropped Pitman arm and raised steering block along with the ARP studs. I am going crossover with full hydraulic assist. These parts are costing me $1800. The parts I have for sale will likely get you by cheaply. Message me for...

Let me get in on a little bit of that "huh?"

i would haul it now if I wasn’t viscously overweight with my current load. If you can find someone who will reasonably haul my truck, I will throw your generator in the back and let it ride for free! I will be living around Brigham City I think.
