Please see my post in the thread below:

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.

If it is, then you maybe my favorite new member here. :cheers:

Great find.

 

 

 

 

 

Someone likes me :P

 

 

 

 

 

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! :D:thumbs:

How hard is it to install. I might just do it when I get new headers, thats after I pay for the truck though.

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. :)

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!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.

      New or used

      By Atlas · Posted

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.
