Hi all,
After 2 years of owning and staring at my truck I finally got the help I needed to change my Sheppard steering gear in my 1165.
I read a thread in here not too long ago about the nightmare that was this gear. This thing is a monster. I don’t wish a bad gear on anyone
I still have some work to do, so I cannot do a complete test…. But I was curious if those of you who know enough about these things can tell me if you’re supposed to be able to turn the pitman arm by hand?
I can on my old one, but cannot on my new one. Hoping this is good news.
Curious to hear your thoughts. Here’s a vid of the old one.
