Wondering if I should go with Chip or just get a reman quick ratio steering gear box at O'reily's...any suggestions? Price difference is about $100 more plus shipping to send it to Chip. http://www.powersteering.com/products.htm
Edit- I told myself to save some money and went to O'reily's. The only unit they had in town looked pretty ragged, then they asked for $156 instead of the $116 I was quoted over the phone. So I declined and started calling around again. Found that Advance Auto Parts sells steering gears from a company called Lares. Did a little research and found they are out of Cambridge, MN and and seem to have a good reputation when googleing for reviews. So I bought one on the web, just got it today and am very pleased so far.
Total cost for this shipped to my door was $200, and I get $40 back once I take my core in. So it works out to be the same price as the Cardone from O'reily's!! Only difference I noticed is that Lares lists the ratio as 10:1 versus the 12:1 from Cardone. I ordered part# 1282
If anyone is interested and is looking to upgrade/replace their gear box. Advanced is having a 20% sale on everything online right now until 4-11-12, just enter "P20" in the code box when checking out. If you have to save some money first, don't worry as they almost always have a 15% sale. Just remember to order it online because it's a special order item in store and they will charge you the $18 for shipping.
