    Delphi 680 steering box

    I have a T style steering linkage from Bad Axe Steering, but stock pitman arm and so far stock steering gear. Also have a Thuren track bar so a few things non standard. Shortening the drag link can be done, but probably very few if any other 2nd gens have exactly what I have going on since Bad...

    Delphi 680 steering box

    What did you have to modify to make that PSC box work? Thinking of getting one myself, but really unclear how much needs modified? Shorten the drag link maybe? Anything else?

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2nd Gen Track bar Rock Auto

    Thanks for the tips. My control arms are three years old, but just a parts house replacement, nothing fancy like a Thuren control arm kit, but maybe I should consider that. Good advice on maximin caster, I did have that, BUT not sure after this latest work, however nothing was changed that...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2nd Gen Track bar Rock Auto

    I had put a 3rd gen conversion bracket along with a stock 3rd gen track bar on about 10 years ago, did OK in my mind, but everything I have read say the 3rd gen conversion is incorrect geometry. While recently doing a bunch of front-end work to include EMF ball joints, upgraded T-style steering...

    WTB 2001 Parts

    Thanks for additional comments John. I guess I say the Borgeson could be the better shaft due to implementing needle bearings, so much better joints, why they chose to make the attachment method so poor is beyond me. I think I have read your previous comments about them.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Control arms

    Living near the Thuren factory and having visited their facility and now running their tack bar, I would stick with Thuren. I replaced control arms three years ago and just went with Precision form I think Orileys due to time and cost to get my truck ready for a trip, but I will eventually put...

    WTB 2001 Parts

    I would assume that too, however I guess not the case. A lot of sites show unavailable, BUT not all, but turns out they just don't have current info on the order site. I actually didn't see that your link for the coat hook took me to an actually order site, so if you had one for coat hooks I...

    WTB 2001 Parts

    John, only reason I was skeptical of the Dorman is usually they have less than stellar quality, so glad to hear that may not be the case and is probably my option if OEM is unobtainium. In theory the Borgeson should be a good one, BUT have heard some issues with the attachment method and have...

    WTB 2001 Parts

    I appreciate the help, however best I can tell the coat hook and the intermediate shaft are unavailable from any online link including those listed. I have placed two orders now at the typical online resources and both came back unavailable. One of the two places I already tried ordering the...

    Vp44 replacement

    I don't know if you are still looking, but I will 2nd OFI. I think if you send your core in they can rebuild yours? I am about three hours from them and I went there for injectors, top notch shop IMO.

    Time to replace my '98.

    Honestly since DEF and EGR and all that goes into a 2007+ diesel, not sure. I would be in the same boat, except my 2001 has zero rust and still is a solid truck, but I might consider a gas pickup, if forced to replace I don't know. In 2023 I was in similar boat with my car, a VW Jetta TDI, it...

    WTB 2001 Parts

    Looking for a couple items for my 2001 Quad Cab. 5FY27TL2AB Coat Hook Prefer new, BUT good used might work, looking for a pair 55351113AB Intermediate Steering Shaft (MUST BE NEW OEM DODGE) Apparently both of the above items are no longer available via normal new channels, so hoping...
