I just ordered one of those coolers too off of Amazon. Wanted to have that on hand, plus a pair of filters, for when I can put the Borgeson box/pump from BAC on the wagon.
I put a borgeson on my 72 charger and it is nice. question is what do I do with the old original one? scrap it? I hate throwing things away, but I need to do something.
The Borgeson box needs the higher pressure. I would take the shim out, and ask where you bought it what you can do. I had some problems, and Peter Bergman helped me sort it out.
A good rebuilt original mopar box is not terrible but still nowhere near as responsive as a Borgeson unit.
Yeah, it isn’t cheap but it is a definite improvement.
Did you buy the pump from Borgeson directly?
I literally just went though this same situation. Installed the Borgeson box + pump and same results, drives great when cold and then after it warms up, the steering gets hard a low speeds. Added a cooler, nothing. Changed fluids 3-4 times, nothing...
You definitely don't want to beat on a gear box!
You could contact borgeson and ask which pitman arm they recommend if no one else on here answers your question.
For my old stuff, I've been using the generic one size fits most fluid from the stores. However, when I switch to the Borgeson boxes, they require specific fluid/s.
Borgeson is NOT complex at all. I installed a complete kit from Bergman, which includes his custom coulper (no cut), and it fit like a glove. Installed in a 64 Dodge, 426W, Dougs headers, mini starter. You're gunna like it!
yeah, i need to do it.. just.. lazy right now and forever it feels like :) The borgeson setup was expensive but it's amazing how much tighter the car is with it
...Normally you remove the box and have it rebuilt by some place like Firm Feel or replace it with another reman/new box or something like a Borgeson box (see the ad on the right side at the top).
I have 2 Firm Feel stage 3 boxes and 1 Borgeson box, I really like the firm feel boxes because...
Is that the new box from Lares ? I’ve read on this forum that they offered rebuild original Mopar chucks but branched out to offer all new units built with a closer ratio. So many of us have switched to the Borgeson unit but it is nice to see options like these come along too.
Ok folks, it's an un-winable situation.
Is it only me, or is that a non mopar steering box.
I don't know what a Borgeson box looks like, but I've seen and worked on plenty of mopar.
Now that he posted a picture, that looked wrong from the first glance.
We have to think outside the (mopar) box!
