Truck tech,

Thanks for your reply. That's where I feel the problem is also, instead of it being the steering box.

I guess that I was hoping for someone to comment on weather to replace the steering cylinder vs. repacking my existing one. I don't know weather the steering cylinder would be worn beyond repair.

I have had other cylinders on boom trucks in the past that were worn to the point of replacing vs. repairing. I wasn't sure if this would be the case also.

Thanks again.

Jake
