Power Steering Rack

[cups]

Someone on the Z mentioned using them, but I wasn't able to get details on it.

That might have been me. I've been trolling for comments for quite awhile.

RockAuto sells the reman racks for way less than that. And they aren't bad to install.

Step 1. Go to Burger King
Step 2. Hand burgers to @wiz1500
Step 3. Hand tools to @wiz1500
Step 4. Shake @wiz1500's hand, but not too much so you don't get any PS fluid on your hands. A fist bump will do.

Did the same. Took me 2 hours to put it in. Plus I got a crew cab rack in my scab for a faster ratio.

Did the same but from ford, at times the ratio gets a bit sketchy especially in wet / snow conditions.

The turning radius in the SCREW sucks as compared to the SCAB. What does putting a SCREW rack into a SCAB buy someone?

Less steering wheel turn for the same wheel turn?

The screw rack is 16:1 vs the scab at 20:1 so it's a pretty big difference in speed.

So the steering is more responsive?

I make the same turn in Night Raptor (SCREW) as I do in Little Red (SCAB).
Both steering wheels are at the same position (5-o-clock) to make the same turn.

The SCREW would have to have a higher ratio to turn the larger truck with the poor turning radius.

So in theory if I added a SCREW rack to Little Red I'd only have to put the steering wheel at the 3-o-clock (less than the 5) position to make the same turn.
