I've read a fleck around here nearly the pain with reman steering boxes on pre-95s. I need to supervene upon mine pretty before long. Rock Auto carries a newly manufactured one from Lares; part number 11416? Anyone tried this box?

I personally would be very leary of somebody selling a "new" unit. Saginaw hasn't made parts for these boxes for almost 20 years now, so if information technology'due south new, who made the parts, and what quality(or lack in that location of) are the parts of. From personal experience I can say avoid AGR at all cost's. I would also steer clear of redhead. Mine leaked from the pitman shaft, pulled it apart, and found that they had honed where the seal goes and then the seal doesn't fit tightly enough to the housing now. I ended upwards going to an old style broad seal and shimming it in as deep every bit possible to get information technology to seal up, but who knows for how long it will hold.
So far I take heard goose egg only skilful nigh blue top steering boxes.

Ferm, near that nothing but good nearly Blue Top, here is your first negative...
I put a Blue Acme in my SOB 1 ton final Autumn. Just pulled it (~750 miles (or maybe 500?) later) for a warranty replacement as it developed a lot of slop that was non present when we installed it. Apologies for the vague description every bit the store did give me better details and I only forgot the effected role names. In any upshot will see if this was a one-off, or a trend.
Warranty procedure with Blue Acme was fairly good. Had to pay a core charge of $100 which I got back when the bad unit was returned. Blue Peak picked-up the shipping costs, so that was definitely good. While the steering box was covered under warranty, I still had to pay labor to swap out parts.
Naturally, the shop is now very leery when I mention the idea of using Blue Top in my 3/4 ton that they are restoring...
