[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 1482941, member: 16101"] I'm less worried about snapping the sector shaft (although I understand it's stronger) but that the gear on the shafts are larger, which allows more turning power (without having to go to a ram assist). As I understand it, the Durango box is physically larger, with larger shaft, but happens to have both the correct mounting locations, and correct input shaft (to fit a TJ) and my existing pitman arm. IF I recall correctly, they only made the box for a couple years. Tom (Jeeptech1) has done this conversion, with good results. I guess what I'm trying to type, is that I've got a lot of pump pressure, but I'm not sure I can get the box to accept that pressure to turn the wheels. I'm hoping the larger box will be able to give me more 'ooomph'. edit: 98 or 99 Durango, 318 V8, NOT the snow plow option. edit continued: You can read about it via Google, but these idgits are worried about upgrading from 31s to 33s and it's crackin me up Nice little write up: [URL]http://www.universityofjeep.ca/Tech/Durango/Steering_box_conversion.html[/URL] This guy was OK[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/TJFrank/DurangoSteeringBox/100_0875.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
