My truck is completely stock. At about 9k I noticed the steering loosening. At about 11k I could turn the wheel between 11 and 1 and the front wheels didn't move. Went to the dealer with PIT5501D in hand. They said it had been superceded by 5501E. They did the locktite fix (5501E). It's been a couple thousand miles and so far so good. The existence of 5501F has dashed my hopes that the problem is permanently fixed. Now I'm back to waiting for it to loosen up again so I can take it back for whatever the most current PIT5501 happens to be. If someone could get their hands on 5501F that would be very helpful.

Answered my own question with a Google search. There is indeed a PIT5501F. Can someone going to the dealer for this please ask them for a copy them upload it here like I did with 5501E?

I found them by Google search then asked my dealer for a copy.

So... There is an F?

The digital assist isn't the problem at all. It is the steering box itself.

Mine was the first my dealer had seen. They would not replace the steering gear because the bulletin specifically tells them not to. If the lock-tite fix doesn't hold we will have that conversation again.

Make sure to hand them PIT5501E and ask if there is an PIT5501F.

Took mine to the dealer for this 2 days ago. There is a new repair bulletin. PIT5501E dated March 7, 2017. PIT5501E.pdf PIT5501E.pdf PIT5501E.pdf PIT5501E.pdf
