2869-4T (4-4.5 Turns): 1994-2001 Dodge 1500 or 1994-2002 Dodge 2500-3500 Pickup Trucks Steering Gear

Been in the truck for about 2-3 years at this point only about 20k-30k miles and is leaking heavily and of course out of warranty as it’s only good for 12 months. Sadly I will not be recommending anyone buy one of these units anymore. However I did really like it when it was good however I feel for the price it should last a lot longer than it did.

96 cummins diesel, new front ball joints, wheel bearings, Thuren trac bar,new wheel bearings. This truck is scary to drive at highway speeds.Vehicle has about 300,000 miles. 245x75x16 stock size tires. Steering is stiff, sloppy, all over the road. Also has steering gear stabilizer on it. What gear should I be looking at?

This is a great company first of all! My steering was sloppy and now there is ZERO play and I'm very happy with it. And one more thing their customer service is VERY GOOD, to me customer service is everything! And the young lady on the phone Christina needs a raise, she is very kind and can help you!

When I decided to replace the steering gear in my 2001 Dodge 2500, I did as much research as I could to decide what would best serve my needs and costs.   After deciding on Redhead products, I emailed them after hours to ask a technical question about their product.   I was quite surprised to get a response that evening with the info that I needed.  Well done.  

After purchasing a steering gear from them, I was very pleased with the quality of the product.  My truck drove much better, the sloppy steering issue was taken care of.  I definitely would recommend their services.

But my biggest compliment goes to their customer service.  Simply outstanding.   A few months after I installed the gear into my truck it developed a leak between the sector shaft seal and the housing, not the shaft itself.  I don't know how they could have foreseen this problem and I am sure is is an isolated incident.  

I emailed the company explaining my problem and asking for help in correcting the problem.   To my surprise they called me by phone that afternoon to discuss my concern.  The very next day they shipped a replacement box to me.  All shipping costs covered by warranty.   The new box is in my truck with simply no issues and I am a very happy customer.  Their customer service and products are top notch.  I would highly recommend them to anyone.   Job well done and thank you again.

I bought my Redhead steering box for my 1995 ram 2500 4x4 cummins because it had all the typical Dodge slop. I was skeptical it would fix it but after putting thia unit in my truck has ZERO play in the wheel. No wander, no noise, turn the wheels any time. You don't need any of those ridiculous hydraboost and stabilizer systems from PCS. or otherwise, if your front end is legitimately tight and in good shape and your steering column isn't worn out, this gear box will solve absolutely all of your issues. The only other thing I would recommend is the gear box brace to keep the frame from cracking and wearing any gear box out prematurely. Completely worth the cost.
