...shield. Kind of a tough thing to do mentally, installing a rag joint, going backwards of sorts but really didn’t like the noise. Wanted the Borgeson box, didn’t want to cut the shaft to accommodate the Borgeson Mopar isolation coupler. From my research, it was only the factory rag-jointed...
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.
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...
...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...
I remember you.
You used to post over at the Charger forum. I haven't seen you over there in awhile. Didn't we chat about the Borgeson steering box and an overdrive transmission?
I go through points where I am not so motivated. It helps to have friends around that have old cars like me.
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.
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.
Thats the oe box. Considering your logistics and shop issues, I would shoot for the Borgeson box from BAC. Hit Peter up. Sending something that heavy across the pond more than once is not a good idea.
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.
Following up a bit on my Borgeson conversion, was able to finally find the time and available access to the alignment rack, distracted by other projects. Not sure if I mentioned previously, as well as the Borgeson box and related steering column modifications to stop the hydraulic noise coming...
Did you ever get your Borgeson box and pump sorted? I love the feel of the Borgeson box, until yesterday when it started acting up at low speeds after a 3hr drive.
I have new Borgeson box and a not so old Saginaw pump and reservoir installed in 2015 with only 1000 miles on it.
Also have PS...
I've heard some say the old junkyard pumps are more reliable than the newer stuff.
KD- pick n pull time. Did you see a pump on that recent junkyard dart?
How about the firm firm rebuilds, are they any good? I see they have 3 different stages, but Im wondering if they are as good as the
Please let me know. My steering box also has a ton of play and is leaking as well. I was thinking about a firm feel box.
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...
