I ran into a guy at the yard once that was pulling every square body steering box that he could find. He said he rebuilds them himself and I keep kicking myself for not getting his number.

I've had the best luck with junkyard boxes. I just search for a dry one. I havent bought any of the spendy aftermarket ones though.
I bet they have a 2wd box and I'm sure he can drill and tap one himself. I understand though that he wants a good one.
After reading all this i’m glad i’ve kept all the steering boxes from my parts trucks.
I’ve changed 10 steering boxes in 18 years. So noWhy not?
It could be a tradition
I am still on my only steering Box in 15 years
I got a used psc box that I just put on , haven’t put any miles on it yet.
Mine is a built AGR box, but it was used when I got it.
My PSC box was awesome and never hiccuped.
I did have PSC rebuild one of my P-Pumps and their service in that regard was very good. I would have no worries about sending them a box if it went bad.
With that said, I also have had great service with Howe. Was easy to talk to those guys on the phone about things.
Not to be plugging a bunch of companies... But ORD would definitely go to bat for you if you bought a box from them as well I'm sure.

Most the ones on the K5 we shitboxes. Blew a couple of them up with too much pressureM
Must be operator error.
Truth is, my parts box was really good until I bottomed the drag link out on the crossmember. It clicks now when the hubs are locked.
Works fine on the street
The buy in is the only issue on a PSC box from ORD. But yeah, you know good and well ORD stands behind their stuff
Getting closer to this point....
Do it once and be done
It's sound logic. I missed most of BB17 when it pooped gear #2
missed Flat Iron Mesa at BB19 cuz the box
that was after 18 trips to Moab mostly unscathed. Even the year the bent72 lost the engine, I made it back to the trailer on the last day
That 465 that lost 2nd gear should be my best buddy. If not for that I wouldn't have had your help on Moab Rim at BB17. And I sorely needed the help.
