Upgrade your vehicle's steering with the Red-Head Steering Gear, engineered for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 to F-550 Pickup Trucks, 2000-2005 Excursion, and 1999-2004 Vans with a 36-spline sector/output shaft. This premium gearbox is a perfect match for all 2001-2004 Ford Super Duty trucks and 2001-2005 Excursions, which come with a 36-spline sector from the factory. For some 1999 and 2000 models, it’s important to verify the spline count, as early models may feature a 32-spline sector, while later models are equipped with a 36-spline sector. The Red-Head Steering Gear allows you to retain the factory steering shaft and stock pitman arm, making it an ideal solution for lifted trucks, especially those with dropped pitman arms. No need to replace your pitman arm on lifted vehicles, offering significant cost and time savings. Featuring a 36-spline sector shaft, it ensures a precise fitment and enhances steering control and road feel. To confirm the spline count, count 9 spline peaks between each master spline—4 master splines in total, equaling 36 splines. If you have a 32-spline sector, the Red-Head 2764 is the right option. Crafted with high-quality, durable components, this steering gear promises long-lasting performance. A direct replacement, it restores confidence in your truck's handling and provides smoother, more responsive steering. Proudly built in the USA, this product comes with exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding customer support.
