Man, it is a sweet deal just knowing that it ain't

going to leak. I stopped driving my truck when it started to leak and making noises. I didn't want to get oil all over the new leaf packs. I thought the price was fair for the amount of work they said they do to these boxes. They warrantee it for a year unlimited milage.

Yea, I will get it. You got a mill?

There is a small machine shop here in town that is only open part of the time and works real reasonable because the guy is semi retired.

All of us Bronco types get ours done at West Texas Off Road. They did my Bronco's box and did a great job. http://westtexasoffroad.homestead.com/contact.html
They even rebuilt mine with my box in pieces!
Good luck,
Mikey

It seems like getting the steering wheel centered is the only bad part. It usually takes a couple test drives for me to get it right. I just can't drive a car that has the steering wheel cocked or off center.

Well I finally got the Ford back on the road

. After getting the steering gear back in I found the battery was totally dead. Wouldn't even except a charge.

I am going to drive it around this weekend and get a better opinion on how the gear reman went. So far, the little I got to drive it today I really like how it turned out. It felt alot more smooth and responsive. I will let you know by the weekends end my thoughts

.
