Does anyone on the forum know what the part number is for the Mopar heavy duty replacement steering gear box now used on 2010 5. 9L / 6. 7L 2500 & 3500 Dodges? This box started being used sometime during the 2009 model run. I want to get one for my wandering 2004.

Found it!! Sway bar bushings replaced and noise is gone. Thanks for the suggestions.

Sounds like you have a axle u-joint going bad.

I forgot to mention I already replaced the sway bar links.

85000 miles. I have a noise coming from under my truck that is driving me nuts. When driving on rough roads (which all county & state highways in Ohio are) I get a "clunk" at every pot hole. I have replaced all ball joints (this helped) and pried and beat on everything under the truck...

Check for a binding U-joint. I had a 2 to 3 mile per gal. drop that was a bad joint. I caught on to it when the truck stopped rolling down the driveway when I released the clutch.

Check Driveline Sounds like you have a U-joint binding up.

Just something to think about. I average 20 to 22 MPG on my truck except when I have a U-joint binding up. Every time my mileage dropped to 17 MPG I found a bad U-joint.

Check all U-joints.

I installed the Moog uppers and OEM lowers last week. There are no greaseable lowers available and I don't think there ever will be because there isn't enough clearance for a zerk on top of the joint to the univeral joint. If I were you I would continue to warranty replace them as long a...

Noise when making a hard right turn. Found cause! When I installed the four ball joints I installed adjustable Moog uppers. After the front was aligned the noise started happening (only on hard right turns). Due to the adjustment of the eccentric in the upper ball joint the angle of the...

Les, I'll check the left side next. I love driving this truck but I've just about had enough. 40,000 miles and 5 u-joints bad, 4 ball joints worn out, 1 front wheel bearing replaced, and this noise. This is bulls--t.

Pulled axel out. U-joint flexs free & is well greased. Was installed about 5000 miles ago is greaseable.

I've got the same noise when making a hard right turn. Just changed the right front wheel bearing (which was a little rough when turned by hand) & checked u-joint. Still getting noise.

You guys are right. There isn't room for a fitting. :confused:
