I agree with going for the Borgeson steering gear since you already have the Borgeson pump. I have heard the Borgeson pump needs to have the pressure toned down a bit if using with a stock steering gear. It will work perfectly with the Borgeson gear.

I've heard this before. It seems to be a characteristic that many of them have. Functionally, the Borgeson unit is excellent. The noise they make is considered normal.

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 earlier boxes use smaller diameter mounting bolts. I made bushings when I installed the borgeson box.

Already ordered the Borgeson -- Hope all is OK. -- What do You mean by "complex" ?

I have a Borgeson box and a Firm Feel box, and I would definitely recommend the Borgeson kit from Bergman.

I bought a cooler from BAC when ordering a Borgeson box from them. Works a treat even with the factory pump on a '72 Satellite.

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.

Very good question….

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.

Something pops to mind on my 65 with the Borgeson box. I can check tomorrow but I think there was one bolt that needed to be shortened so it didn't bottom out on the K. Want to say it was the outside upper one. If thats the case, only two of yours are really doing anything to hold the box to the K.

AH! 1962.. that would explain it :) Will see if i can find bolts with shoulders, or sleeves.... thanks for the nfo!

Rick Ehrenberg wrote an article where he installed a Borgeson in a 62 Savoy. The Savoy had mounting bolts that were smaller than the mounting holes of the steering box case. This could have led to a fair amount of movement. He made sleeves to slip into the holes to allow the bolts to fit with...

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.

That would be too easy.

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!

Thank you!!! In the Summit questions and answers of the steering box the people use royal purple synthetic
