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

The Borgeson is 14 to 1 with 3 1/2 turns. A stock Mopar unit was 15.7 to 1 with almost the same amount of turns. That is strange. Add Fast Ratio arms and the ratio changes to the mid 12s with 2 3/4 turns. I find it hard to believe that any aftermarket steering box would be made with a 10 to 1...

If you go new, get the Borgeson box from Peter, here’s his website. You won’t regret it. https://bergmanautocraft.com/product-category/steering-parts/?srsltid=AfmBOooFjDCMU_4pU424l7z0UGdzXYgQ9LPRrXVKIq7IQnowFDaRsg9L

You don’t have to shorten the column by an inch or so? Or is that in certain models?

Thanks for the info. Yeah, tough mentally.....but could be a project for me in the future. Right now it sounds like a rattle snake is behind the steering wheel...

I just ordered the 11033 today. I hope the Borgeson pump I put in will give it enough pressure.

...flare seat adapter and the port in the casting. I port every box that goes out the door these days. Once I started doing this complaints dropped to being very rare. Borgeson intalls flare seat adapters with larger IDs these days. This noise is not a Mopar phenomena. I've heard this on other...

Years ago before the Borgeson steering box was widely available, Mopar Action magazine had an article named Pump it down where they added shims in between the bolt and the body of this valve.... Since then, I've read from several Mopar guys that used shims that added up to a range of .090 to...

Let me know if the pump fixes it. At least it's a relatively cheap and easy solution compared to a new box.

Very good question….

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.

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.

...that it will be harder to turn without any assist. I had the Fast ratio (Longer) idler and Pitman arms that changed the power ratio to approximately 12 to 1. Yeah, with no assist, it was very hard to steer. I changed to a Borgeson that is 14 to 1 and it too is not easy to steer with the...

HOW could a guy like you, one that is a sharp dude in regards to electrical matters....be so LATE to ditch the shittiest shock absorbers ever put on a Mopar ?? K Y B s? Really ???

That would be too easy.

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

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!

I bought a Borgeson kit from Bergman. Happy with it. Only thing I ran into on my 65 was my original box to k frame bolts were smaller diameter than the holes in the box. I made sleeves for the bolts and went with it.

Decided to put power steering back in the 71 and tried a Borgeson conversion. So far so good, all went smooth, works great and no leaks. Also put fresh meats up front and running 255 60 15x8 on all four. A little pricey but, love it
