Just replaced my factory TB (78k miles) with the Thuren TB on my 2015 2500 today. Man what a difference it made tightening up the steering. I do have a steering box brace and dual steering stabilizers and this still made a significant difference. I’m getting a little slop in my ball joints as well so just ordered the EMF’s. Not really looking forward to that job lol. Thanks for the video! 🤝

Actually, the 2nd upgrade I did on my '13 PW, right after the DOR steering brace. I agree completely with your assessment. Didn't notice much difference, but have the piece of mind that it is more robust and centered. I noticed more difference w the King/Thuren tuned stabilizer, as you did. Next up are Carli ball joints.

Nice. Just remember after you loosen the drag link jam nuts to adjust your steering wheel, you need to put some blue loctite and try to torque it to the required spec. There is a TSB on that for the jam nut backing off and if it does and you don't catch and correct it. the two piece could separate and then you would be in a world of shit if driving.

Cummins 6.7 Forgot to mention it in the video, but I did throw in loctite. Your absolutely right!

@@MotorHead18 after torquing nuts I like to take a paint pen and make a mark on the nut and whatever the nut is tight against. That way you can just look at it from time to time to see if it has backed off. If the two corresponding lines still align then it hasn’t lost its torque spec.

Just had a new Thuren track bar installed and when the steering is turned slightly left or right there’s a thud/pop and after climbing under to watch the when the wheels turn the coil deflects and the track bar at that bolt has play.
