Kenny you familar with the steering gear right? Well if you look at the top of the box there is a 5/8s nut and a allen screw put the allen wrench in the top of the stud n loosen the jam nut and then turn the allen 1/4'' or a little bit at a time driving in between to find the right spot. make sure you wheels are strait before you do this i dont know if you have to but i just did treating it as a allingment. If you have any doubts pm and I will get some photos of the nut and the deal tomarow after work

Blue, I have had good luck with these guys http://benchworksteering.com/ for my steering box. It has been thoroughly abused and still works great. Oh yeah and I think they are a lot cheaper tha psc.

There is a TSB on dodgram.org about adjusting the steering box, you have to do the worm shaft pre-load first, then do the over center adjustment (the allen screw and jam nut). Blue- if the over center adj is too tight , it will not return to center correctly...
