Pitman arm orientation

[Rc51heaven]

I've purchased a redhead 4 turn box and used it for a couple years and it was OK. Still it's the smaller box and even with a stabilizer bar mounted I didn't think it was that much difference from a OEM. Started leaking and started to look for something that would last. I get tired of removing/replacing these things. This seems stout enough to handle the weight of the Cummins. And the 3rd gen PSC box is cheaper probably because they don't include replacement pitman arm or shims for mounting. Plus I like the 3 turn ratio vs the 4 turn OEM. Tighter steering.

So the new mopar upgrade box is a 3 turn?

The link I sent you is from the PSC web site. It doesn't say its a 3 turn ratio for the 3rd gen like it does for my 2nd gen. You might want to call them. What ratio is the OEM 3rd gen box? When I called PSC they were extremely helpful. I bought my PSC box through Genos even though its the same box. I wanted to be loyal to Genos since they've serviced me well over the years and the box shipped from Texas where PSC is located. Got to me quick.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is 2.75 Turns.
Feels a lot like a European Car with it.

I would agree it's something slightly less then a full 3 turns. Once you get the steering wheel straight it does handle/feel like a sports car. I love it for backing up my trailers too. Much less sawing back and forth.
EDIT: I also think it depends on the pump you're using. The OEM pump kind of runs out of pressure as it reaches it's travel limits and poops out where the HD pumps provide higher line pressure at those extreme travel limits.

It has the same old small sector shaft....also theres not a brace for it..

No it isn't. It's the 45mm shaft that has a 1 13/16 inch nut on. And like I said in another post there is a brace for these larger boxed available here. http://store.dodgeoffroad.com/Dodge-Off-Road-Steering-Brace--3rd-Gen-03-08_p_49.html
