Borgeson Steering Box

I ended up using 4 1/8" hardened washers and they are not very noticeable. This tells me there machining must be wrong. Hopefully I have no issues.

I probably should have, but I have read the Redhead has issues also and they only have a one year warranty, Borgeson has a 3 year warranty. Hopefully I won't need it.

Not a bad option, but I really do like the lower ratio steering boxes (lock to lock). And with the quality of parts EVERYWHERE, I may have not been any better off.

I had an AGR box on the truck to begin with and the only reason I had to replace the box is that while doing my engine swap, I needed to turn the wheels. As I was turning them, I heard a pop. I thought it was something in my tilt column, but it ended up being something inside the AGR box . Does anyone know if they sell a rebuild kit for the AGR boxes? Are they even still in business? I couldn't find their website

I have a 1971 blazer 4x4 and a 1975 K10. Eventually I will replace both. I learned that Cardone and others are using the same number for a 71 blazer and a 75 K10. They said luck of the draw for what you get. Is there an additional number at the end for example 3L or 4L on the case that would tell you the difference. Thanks

AGR turned to crap when one of their guys left. He started PSC.

Been awhile since I've shopped for a steering box. I have an older AGR box and pump on one of my Jeep CJ's, and the pump went out a while back and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet, so it's been sitting.

Do they make a rebuild kit for the AGR box?

Not sure. I haven't had any problems with my box yet. The AGR pump is toast, probably doesn't have 5K miles on it.

Both were installed around 2002, so obviously don't drive that Jeep a lot.
