Thanks Orrie, I didn't think of posting photos. Sick5 (and any others who do it) when you tighten the adjustment screw on the steering box, just screw in to you feel it bottom out and stop. Don't reef down on it after you feel it hit bottom. You may want to drive the truck around the block and recheck it again after you do it the first time. I have run into a couple of them that guys tightened too tight and caused the steering to bind up in the process. When I was working in various shops I always seemed to be the guy in town that you took your rig to after you worked on it yourself and it was worse than when you started.
