    Steering box ID? 79 W200

    Well.....I just replaced the steering shaft with the Borgenson unit I ordered. I was very painless and made a tremendous difference. You guys were correct, the original joint had been rebuilt. When I pulled on the shaft after unbolting it from the rag joint, the entire assembly flew apart...

    Steering box ID? 79 W200

    Thanks guys. I just ordered the Borgenson steering shaft. I can't thank you enough. I'm new to Dodge trucks and your knowledge definitely helped me out....hopefully I can return the favor some day. I'm planning on replacing it next weekend. Mike

    Steering box ID? 79 W200

    All good tips guys. I was actually looking at buying the new shaft anyway as a bit of good logic and safety. I believe I will start there. I'm trying to save the money to keep the truck going so I can spend funds on the 69 dart resto project. Also, I've been trying to post pics of the...

    Steering box ID? 79 W200

    Hmm...now I'm a little confused. I recall reading in another thread that if you look down upon the pitman arm while having someone turn the steering wheel, and the pitman arm turns opposite the steering wheel, that it would be a reverse rotation box. Can you please verify that my previous...

    Steering box ID? 79 W200

    yes it does. Also when turning the wheel clockwise, the pitman arm turns counterclockwise (when looking down onto it). Does that maybe help? Also, in trying to troubleshoot the sloppy steering, I climbed under there and checked for play in the pitman arm and steering shaft. The pitman arm...

    Steering box ID? 79 W200

    Is there a way to determine by some outer marking or stamping number which steering box I have in my 79 W200? I'm pretty sure the steering box is the cause of my sloppy steering. But before I can order the part, I need to know if it's a standard or reverse rotation and if it's a 25 or 32...

    sloppy steering 79 W200

    I just picked up a 79 W200 and the steering is rather sloppy. Other than that the truck is great. I'm new to the older dodge trucks. Can anyone help me trouble shoot before I go tearing things apart and throwing money at it? For instance, could it simply be the steering box is bad? Or could...

    Greyhound issue?

    Having not used Greyhound in the past, I didn't know the tracking number was listed on the receipt. I asked the shipper to send it to me. Thanks again guys. Mike

    Greyhound issue?

    Anyone have issues shipping items via Greyhound? I paid for a door to be shipped from Oregon to Detroit...about 2 weeks ago. The shipper has all paperwork that was generated on his side when he sent it. But wasn't given a Tracking Number. Greyhound cannot find the item for me without me...

    probably not. I plan to move out of the house in a year or so. At that point I may plumb the garage.

    Air Compressor Set-up suggestions needed

    I recently purchased a 60 gallon air compressor and will be installing it in my garage. I plan to use it to restore my dart. Therefore, it will be running all of the normal air tools such as DA sander, air chisel, impact wrench etc. But I also plan to use it to paint the car. I'm new to...

    Welding helmet recommendation

    Anyone have a recommendation for a good welding helmet? I know there's auto-darkened ones and models that are permanently dark. I'm leaning towards the auto-darkening type, unless someone has a good argument against that. I've researched them a bit, mostly on Summit and Amazon. But, I'm not...

    Undercarriage paint/undercoating

    Hey guys. For what it's worth, I have Line-X in my truck's bed. It's probably been about 4 years since I had it applied and don't have any sort of cover on the bed itself; therefore it's consistently exposed to the elements. I've never experienced any chaulking or fading of the color. I have...
