Maybe watch the video?Thanks for posting. I haven't done mine at all. I'm still at the stage where I'm looking-down-at-the steering-box and wondering how I'll get at that thing!

hi jimbomMaybe watch the video?
100%!Glad I could help, I still smile a little more every time I get back into my Jeep.
No issues so far... but to be honest I've only driven a couple hundred miles (working from home these days). Should anything pop up I'll be sure to share.its been over a month now, has any one who did this had any issues crop up? Im at the same point as the op where I have done everything else that I can to correct it and its still a wanderer on the highway. im more than willing to give this a shot but just wondered if maybe the OP, or others, have decided this wasnt the best decision.
Side note...a new box is about $500 from several mopar parts sites. In my mind this makes it a worth while thing to try since its a RELATIVELY small cost for replacement if it gets fried down the road. The smoother ride would be worth the risk. Just curious about others and their experiences so far.

I finally got my Gladiator two days ago. It seems I lucked out, as the steering is fine.Ok guys this finally fixed it for me.
definitely curious if they'll do this. Ill probably do mine today or tomorrow depending on the weather. So we shall see! I will definitely do just a little at a time, probably at most " 1-2 hours " on a clock face per adjustment.For warranty reasons, I'd like the dealer to do it. If they figure I need a new steering box, that's fine. But it better work.
Not to sound like a smartass, but asking PSC would be good.So, the PSC SK500 XD Steering Gearbox, Can i run that on the original power steering pump?
I'm still good and can confirm its perfect and exactly the way it should have been from the factory. I am bombarded with thank yous from others who have done this.its been over a month now, has any one who did this had any issues crop up?

I absolutely intend to. Just waiting to get my alignment done and for it to not rain on a day i have off.I'm still good and can confirm its perfect and exactly the way it should have been from the factory. I am bombarded with thank yous from others who have done this.
Do it, you won't regret it.
Brandon, I finally got my Gladiator Overland, and the steering seems fine to me. I can definitely tell it's recirculating ball compared to the R & P in my old Dakota (still tight steering after 350K miles); the Gladiator has a sort of "squishy" feel to it, but no wandering and no significant dead spot.I'm still good and can confirm its perfect and exactly the way it should have been from the factory.
