    I run bf's....have never had a death wobble. The steering in my long box is a little loose cause it needs ball joints. The guy that built it was known to run through the ditches.....he did it at my house.

    My short box always drove great till I lent it to my youngest for a week. New it was a bad idea to lend a seventeen year old a super charged truck. It came back in one piece just loosened up the handling.

    not you super, I was replying to @jamespmack and somehow inserted my response into his quote, and when I noticed it I said WTF, hit "post reply" a split second after your post. SMH. Sorry for the confusion.

    but I stand by Ford comment. Lol

    Gm never gave it up. Even when everyone else called it technology of the past. Hard to beat a LS motor.

    Rogers new 2000 model dodge diesel was the worst, it felt like the steering shaft was a piece of rubber hose! Turn the wheel and no response.....

    my 2014 model at EZ was better but no cookie.....

    Was the new box a reman?

    Have you tried adjusting it?

    I ask cause most remans I've ever got weren't adjusted right.... including the one on this old peterbilt.

    Sometimes the “technology of the past” is better.
