    power steering box leak

    The top cap of the steering box seem to be leaking pretty badly. It just started on the way to the rally. Can that cap be pulled off and put back on fairly easily so I can replace the O ring or does it require some special caution? I need to fix it before Darrins get together. Thanks for any info.

    swap tp 1410 u-joints??

    im doing a cummins swap in my crewcab dually. dodge used 1410 joints and ford only uses 1350s. would it be wise to try to find a 1410 pinion yoke for the rear axle or will the 1350 be plenty? does anyone know where to find one since they werent stock?
