Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

I am needing a new steering box and have been looking at these on eBay. I just wanted to know if anyone has used them and if they are any better than the other remanufactured boxes out there. I would appreciate any input. I have put a lot of money into my truck and don't want to skimp on the box if it is better. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CPP-500-SERI...b291bb&vxp=mtr

No I have not but now I want to!!!!!
I had found a vendor that rebuilds them up upgrades the ratio but this seems better.

Thanks for the link, I may get one to. Mine has about 3 inches of play at the steering wheel.

Thats very interesting, and looks like a nice box! I did notice that it says in dark bold print that it uses a 3/4 x 30 spline output shaft. I don't know what our factory output shaft size is, but the bold print makes me wonder if its different, which might require a different steering arm. Thanks for the link.

I have one & love it!!!:metal:
Its night & day guy's you'll ask yourself why did you wait so long.

And I almost forgot the 500 series gearbox is not a remanufactured box it's totally new made and sold by CPP here in the USA

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

What's your year and model? Was it a direct replacement with no other parts required?

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

1969 Chevy C10 & yes direct bolt on useing factory bolts. The only difference was the rag joint and that may be because I used an Ididit steering column? So call them about that they can help you with figuring that out.

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

I just looked it up the 500 series steering box that I got is for 1969-1990 Chevy trucks so you should be good with your year truck.
Not that I was in doubt they make one for just about every toy out there I have one on my 1969 Olds Cutlass, 1964 Chevelle, & my 1969 C10.
The way I found out about them was watching a car show they installed one in a 1957 Chevy Bel Air.
They are 2 things that I do to a new toy when I first get one 4 wheel disc brakes & the 500 series gearbox.
So get one & enjoy brother

Thanks for the input! This is the information that I was hoping to get! USA made sounds good.

No problem buddy that's what we're here for:metal:

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

And that is why I stay on this board! So much great information! To be honest I probably would have bought one anyway but I knew someone on here had to have tried one out.

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

Have heard a lot of good things about these improved steering boxes. Would like to get one in my truck as well. The standard rebuilt garbage in it right now is a piece of junk.

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

I have one on each of my toys & absolutely love it !!!
Maybe 1774btcrew can chime in & let us know if he ever got his & what he thinks about it?

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

I did get my CPP box. It hasn't been installed yet. Initially they sent me the wrong box(sent one for a g body) and now I need to get a new high pressure line made. I really don't want a power steering mess twice.

I installed a redhead on my k30 this summer and have no complaints. Along with the box, I did the XJ mod. REALLY NICE NOW!

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

I also did a Redhead on my 2004 2500 Yukon XL about 6 months ago. Very pleased with it! :metal:

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

What is the xj mod?

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

It is using the Jeep Cherokee(XJ) intermediate shaft instead of the stock GM one that has rag joints. The Jeep uses Borgenson joints. These will only work on steering columns that have a double D output shaft

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

So these will work on the K trucks too?

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

Did this to my K5 and helped with the extra slop. $10 in a junkyard but takes a little to get one out.

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

How can you tell if your output shaft is 3/4-30 spline? I would like to get one of these. I have a 79 chevy c10.

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

Yes it will

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

I'd kill for one of these to go on my 98. My 78 is still nice and tight.

Re: Has anyone used the CPP 500 series steering box?
 

What is really so special about these CPP 500 boxes? Can you make sharper turns with one of these in our trucks.
