05_2500HD Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Please see my post in the thread below: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...pic=48685&st=25 Simply put, this is by far THE BEST product you can buy for your truck...gives you the "solid" feel at the wheel you should have and eliminates ALL of the dreaded "steering clunk" that everyone is running to the Dealership to get cured with either a so-called "updated" shaft, or by getting a grease job that lasts a few thousand miles or so. At @ 260 shipped I think it's a small price to pay for the results you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likarok Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I just ordered mine...I hope this is the fix cause this pizzzzes me off big time. Hopefully it will take out that old International grain truck feel out of the steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great find. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Someone likes me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, it is exactly the same blinking shaft that I just ordered yesterday for 203.00 with their now famous 15% off deal. It never fails. I could be the only person on a deserted island and still get screwed by someone a million miles away. Good find though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 How hard is it to install. I might just do it when I get new headers, thats after I pay for the truck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just do it when I get new headers, thats after I pay for the truck though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The install was not hard at all, you just need to make sure that before you tighten everything down that the steering wheel is turned correctly. The shaft is so much thicker, a little persuasion might be necessary compared to the orginal shaft. Total time was about 30 minutes. There are instructions on this website concerning the install under the how to section. The difference in the two shafts is like night and day.

Likarok Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I just finished my install on this steering shaft. I agree with mtallon....not to hard to do. Make sure you slide the new shaft in and out a few times to make it slide when you get it in. It is so much bigger than the stock one......taking the stock one out makes you see why there is a clunk........it is pretty wobbly. I bought this truck used but you could tell the dealer had greased it before. It wasn't cheap for me though getting it to Alberta.........to my door it cost $310.00c. That's the shaft, shipping, customs and brokerage fee. Mind you if they would ship other than ripoff UPS it probably would be cheaper. I bought direct from Borgson though to. Oh well if it works then I feel it is worth the cost.....that shake and clunk drove me crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
