Red-Head Extreme Duty Steering Gear Box 05-07 Ford F-250 / F-350
CORE CHARGE
What is a core charge?
Description
If your steering needs an upgrade from running oversized tires, or offroading, or your stock gearbox is just simply worn out and you demand nothing but the best, then a Red-Head gearbox should be your next move. While the standard Red-Heads we offer outperform the stock box in every way, their Extreme Duty models are built to handle anything you can throw at them while still being completely suitable for a daily driver with stock-sized tires.
Featuring many of the same upgrades as the standard Red-Head box for improved steering, the Extreme Duty models feature a larger internal piston, as well as a larger sector shaft compared to the standard models. The larger piston means that more fluid can be displaced, providing easier "push and pull" of your steering linkage. As far as the shaft, bigger is nearly always better in terms of strength, so you're less likely to twist or break the shaft even under the harshest of conditions. The sector shaft will taper down to the stock size, however, so you're able to retain your existing pitman arm. This is a major advantage, especially for those with lifted trucks with dropped pitman arms, as you will not have to change your pitman arm.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
You have the option for us to include a pre-paid return label with the shipment for ease of returning your core. With this option, you will merely need to drop the re-packaged core with the accompanying shipping label at a FedEx drop-off. Otherwise, it will be your responsibility to supply your means of returning the core. Pre-paid return label option is only applicable to the lower 48 contiguous United States. Please contact us if you have any questions. Cores with broken shafts or cases will receive partial or no core refund.

One of the most prevalent issues with heavy duty, diesel powered trucks, especially as they accrue some miles, is sloppy steering. And its no wonder, most of us install larger tires, haul a considerable amount of weight, periodically use them offroad, and even put snowplows on the front. All of these put considerable stress on your steering components. All of those stresses coupled with the fact that the OEM steering gears, or basically anything you find at your local parts store, could be considered absolute garbage means that the majority of us are driving around with loose, wandering steering that must be constantly corrected in order to keep the truck in your lane. That is, unless youve upgraded your Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax with a Redhead!
Red-Head Steering Gears was founded in 1981 by Seattle area automotive entrepreneur, Warren Foster, who also founded Foster's Service in Georgetown, WA (now Foster's Frame & Axle) and T 'n' W Pumps in Georgetown, WA (now Foster & Snyder in Pingree, ND).
The business was purchased by Tom Foster and then Harvey Foster, both nephews of Warren. Tom is now retired in Arizona. Harvey moved to Seattle in 1979 to go to work for Warren in his frame and axle business. This knowledge of front ends has been very helpful in diagnosing steering problems.
Harvey worked at the frame and axle shop for 6 1/2 years before joining Tom at Red-Head. Harvey has built and tested between 43,000 and 47,000 steering gears in the past 21 years. This business has had and continues to have a number of other great employees, all family members.
Why we carry Red Head Steering Gears.....
As anybody that deals with us on a regular basis knows already...we want the best for our customers. As most people with a Dodge truck realize, the stock steering gear box leaves a lot to be desired. It was no different on our 2005 Dodge (3 gearboxes in the first 25,000 miles) or our 2007 Dodge (3 gearboxes in 75,000 miles). We have been searching for the answer to the gearbox dilemma and after testing a few other aftermarket boxes have settled on Red Head as being the best. Steering is smooth, effortless AND they are built to last. But it doesn't stop with upgraded Dodge boxes, they build upgraded boxes for nearly every application and we've had nothing but positive feedback on every unit. Red Head gets our Seal of Approval!

If you'd like additional third party evidence as to what goes into a Red-Head gear box or why this is the best gear box for your truck, and how much of an impact it will really make in your driving experience, check out a detailed review by acclaimed Turbo Diesel Register editor, Doug Leno.
