[@joshmcdermott4619]

Like the commentary, laughed more than once. Thanks for saying the sizes of the sockets and tools needed.

Thanks Josh

[@jamestheroux656]

You seem like my kinda ppl! Very informative!

[@TreeFeller4Life]

Hell ya man!!!! Fixed mine better than it was!!!!! Thank you so much!! I had steering play where my steering wheel would turn from center, (12:00) to the right at (3:00) smfh and I turned it a little as you said to do at first then took it for a test drive, it started to improve, turned a bit more and took it for a test drive and holy shit it’s incredible the difference!!!!

[@avigilbertson5993]

Glad I could help 👌

[@micolfowler7792]

I’m learning all this on my own.. and it’s pretty funny, the size difference between my truck and I 😂😂😂

[@Canned_Lentil]

Great video, guy really knows what he's talking about. 10/10 would watch again 👏👏

[@jeradbennett5030]

Thanks that was quick and easy.

[@michaellevenduski7263]

Awsome vid. Quick and simple explaining it. I think I can finally try to get my slop/wander adjusted some before I dump a ton of money into it.

[@joecam4735]

Thanks, very informational. James.

[@tyecurtis7228]

[@aaronching5129]

my truck was sketch as f*** before I put on the redhead heavy duty pump ... I got like a 10 inch lift 38s on 22s and it was all over the freaking Road with massive play . I didn't realize you could have just the Box . I need to do that cuz I have little play now all the sudden

[@javierhernandez215]

my steering box is a reman from O'Reilly and it took a 16mm wrench and a flat head stubby screw driver I did it right under the truck no need for extensions

[@billyjones9045]

does the redhead heavy duty steering pump have that also ?

[@HeavenlyFLARE]

Yes it does. I believe all steering gears do

[@gry8ruth]

AVI, do you still have this truck? I just acquired an 06 2500. Could you show how to check/ re time the CP3?

[@avigilbertson5993]

Unfortunately I do not. I’m sure there’s a great video on here somewhere on how to do it!

[@gry8ruth]

@@avigilbertson5993 Thank you for the reply! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and thank you anyways!

[@doubleitp]

Not sure if you're replying on this vid cuz it's already 4 years old, but if you see this can you please tell me what you mean by "sloppy steering". I have noticed a little play in my steering wheel, I have the same bolt/hex adjustment on my '07 Ram 3500 as you do on your truck. Thank you

[@avigilbertson5993]

I’m not a real mechanic so please don’t take this as a fact but: I noticed that tightening up this adjustment on the box helped with some of the slop. These trucks have loose steering, that’s just how it is. I found fighting this up helped the overall response to the slop through the steering wheel.

[@doubleitp]

@@avigilbertson5993 Ok thank you!! :)

Take it from me if you over tighten the hex bolt it makes you steering too tight

[@thetravelingmyfundsarelow1693]

Did u get the 6 bolt borgenson yet ? If not how’s your steering been? I got a 06 same color as yours....love it but got some slop in steering too

[@davidpennington9125]

Thanks that worked really good.

[@michaelchristopher9444]

Get a 4 bolt flange redhead there around 360 us dollars but worth it bud

[@uainttheone]

Francis?? Hyde's brother in real life.

[@tyebrown4533]
