Just want to take a brief moment to share my recent experience with this company. In short….I couldn’t possibly be any happier with your product. 2001 Ford Excursion. Classic ford steering play. Did extensive research to weigh my options. At first, the cost of Red Head’s steering box kinda made me look away. But….upon further research, reading and deeper digging, I realized that these factory ford steering box were just…..inferior in engineering and design….from the factory. What Red Head has done by designing/engineering/improving on factory design is…..brilliant….and VERY EFFECTIVE. You guys did it right; and I am INCREDIBLY grateful. Did it cost me significantly more to go the Red Head route? Yes. Is it worth every penny? HELL YES!!!
Thanks guys….keep up the great work.

I have to say for the price I was expecting a little more than I received. I had to take a file to the spline for the steering shaft before installing since the teeth looked like they had pliers on them a few times and wouldn’t slide on my steering shaft. After getting the box installed I was pleased it does steer very easily. The main reason I went with read head over another was to reduce steering play since they are supposed to be the best. Honestly I also expected the steering to be tighter than it was compared to mine with 195k miles on it. I know the front end of the truck is tight and the only play is coming from the steering box itself. I will say it was an improvement over my stock worn out box but I cannot say if it was worth double the cost of OEM.

2002 F350, 4×4, Crewcab, 7.3 Powerstroke. This truck had almost 200,000 miles before I finally broke down and bought a redhead gear. I’ve been dealing with loose sloppy steering for the last 75k miles. The gear arrived well packaged and undamaged. Installation was pretty simple with the right tools. The improvement was night and day. If you follow the directions provided with the box bleeding and purging is no problem. This is not your regular auto parts steering gear, its well worth the price. Thank you Redhead!

I can say all sorts of stuff here that may sound impressive… or not. I took a video of the drive to the shop with the Readhead gearbox in the bed of my 2000 F250 Powerstroke with just under 300K miles on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIxpDmmZ_UE
Same day on the drive home from the shop, with the Readhead under the hood (the only work done that day, no other front-end work) – I took this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JosXSHlvP3Q
My wheel behaves the same today, 50,000 miles later.

3 Napa boxes in a month made me call redhead. I didn’t want to do that job again! It’s 4 years and 50,000 later and the truck drives so straight. It’s effortless driving this heavy beast in so cal traffic. Now to order one for my excursion I just acquired.

I’ve been dealing with loose steering on my 2000 F350 ever since I bought it with 290k miles on it. The PO said he’d replaced the gear and couldn’t get the slop any better. I replaced all steering components, and while the steering got noticeably better, it still had more slop than I was comfortable with. I researched for a long time, and decided to finally buy the Redhead even though the price was a bit on the scary side. Once installed, all of my steering slop went away. I can’t say it drives like my 2016 sedan, but it definitely drives as good or even better than it did new. That’s saying something for a truck with over 310k miles on it.

Installed on my 2000 Ford F250 XLT Super Duty V10 from the rust belt. The removal of the old core gear box was tough, required heat, on blaster, a BFH, a drill and even a sawzall. The installation, with ease, and replaced all lines.
2764BS Redhead Gear Box made a world of difference and took out all the play in my steering wheel. Great product and highly recommended. I rebuilt the front end and probably should have did this gear box when I hit 200k. At 220k, my power steering pump failed. Now, around 236k, this install tied it all together like a thing of beauty.
The customer service at Redhead Steering Gears has been nothing but the best: Fast, solution-oriented, polite, and all around a great experience to reach out to. Thanks for a great product and being a great team.

I feel like I am in a new truck after this install. I am genuinely impressed and am sold on redhead after this. My 2000 f250 4×4 with the 6.8, it walked so bad it was getting dangerous. Redhead made it better and tighter than factory. Very worth the extra cost.
