I have an 07 SD XL 4x4 and the steering gear suddenly developed between a quarter to a half turn of 'slop' in the wheel, Now it had a very small amount when I got the truck but yesterday it seemed to let go to the point its at now, I have driven the truck 50 or 60 miles this way and it hasn't gotten any worse. My mechanic checked the front end and said all was as it should be and it's for sure the box. Could not find an OEM box in the region so I ordered a Redhead rebuilt for it but won't see it until at least Friday and was wondering if anyone had ever experienced this? and if so did it get worse before you fixed it? I have to drive the truck 15 miles to my mechanic when the box arrives and was wondering if it will make the trip, any thoughts? Thanks, Allan
