[scrappyk5]

my gear box is leaking around the seal where the steering shaft connects.
is that repairable or do i need another gearbox ?

That is an easy one.
You can just change the seal right there, you will need to take off the pitman arm but you can keep the box in the truck.

i should have searched first.
this is doable, and alot cheaper than a remf one.

The search on that topic turns up a ton of stuff. I book marked from when I had the same problem and got a lot of help.
