Yes....depending on the production date of your truck. However, I'm not sure what the exact differences are. See the following factory newletter excerpt:

I think I'd just try to stick with American-made parts (like Moog) and stay away from anything foreign-made, for the most part.

Guys, I have seen the 2 different sizes in question....From what I have seen, the manual teering stuff is a little smaller than power steering stuff.
How ever, I did not take any pictures of it or any thing like that at the time. I wish now that I would have.
