I have that same box on my 08. It was a warranty replacement from the factory. I went in complaint about a box leak. They warranty the box. It took 9 months to get the box don’t know why. It was definitely worth the wait. Just FYI though the dealer told me that they were lucky not having to change out all my steering components because the later 08 truck already came with the heavier duty change over components. This is just to let everyone know not to just go out and buy this box and thinking it will just fit your truck do your homework first. This is what the mechanic who worked on my truck explained to me. My A/C pump took a shit 6 months ago. When I bought the new compressor there was a warning slip inside that required changing of the fan clutch. In speaking to another shop that works on dodges regularly, I was informed that the fan clutch get lazy and don’t come on soon enough and causing high head pressure and blowing the relief valve on the compressor. I know this is the opposite of your problem but just thought people should know what else is happening with that clutch. The new clutch I noticed comes on as soon as you turn the AC on and pulls air like a MOFO to keep head pressure Down. Just my 2cent worth.

I'm sure the stock 3rd box wasn't built to the max but after 175k miles I followed directions and just tightened mine up a little bit without removing it. Right or wrong it made a hell of a difference. I only went about 1/4 turn at a time and drove it. Night and day difference. Its been 20k miles later and it still feels new.

Check out the intermediate shaft bushing. Put your head on the brake pedal and look up. There's an intermediate shaft coupler that has rubber in the middle and 2 pins. The rubber can get soft over time. Geno's sells some small aluminum bushings that can be hammered in around the pins to prevent any slop created by the rubber. Bigger meats (tires) amplifies play here. I'm certain guys chase loose steering and this one, though it doesn't create 2" of play, can correct that last 1/2" of play. (btw, I'd say if you are constantly correcting and the truck annoyingly over corrects... this is the issue. That rubber causes a "delay" as you add more and more tension. When it finally has enough twisting pressure, your tires turn and this continues to "give a little more" twist, thereby over correcting).
