any thoughts?
If I can get some feedback this will be my next move
I have done a little reserch sounds like it could be a massive upgrade?

 

[Erik]

It is. I got one through Detroit Speed. Navy Lifer got one through Tom Lee (I believe). We are both happy with it. It bolts right in.

These are a great upgrade. We have them with free shipping!

I also had the detroit speed box installed. It's an improvement over stock, but there's still some looseness I'd like to eliminate. For the guys who've done this already, was there anything else you did besides swapping steering boxes?

 

[Erik]

No, and I have no play either. But my front end was pretty low mileage at that point.

Yep, my intermediate shaft was pretty new too.

does any one know the part# and or gear ratio for the delphi box

Mike,

It's a 12.7:1 ratio box. I'm not aware of a Delphi part number - I do know that you can't buy it from Delphi direct.

Isn't there an issue with what some might consider to be excessive steering effort with the 600 box? I think it was Erik who said it was noticeably more than stock.

 

[Erik]

It is more than stock, but I wouldn't call it excessive. I would look into options to have it set at something more moderate if possible (i.e., closer to the stock Impala steering effort) but I wouldn't not use this box if I couldn't do that.

EDIT: Good question, by the way, and nice catch. I was answering in a hurry and hadn't really thought about that at the time.

It is more than stock, but I wouldn't call it excessive.

Is the effort high enough that the wife would complain/wreck the car because of it?

 

[Bob with 3 Bs]

Bueller? Bueller?

 

[Erik]

Depends on the wife. No, I don't think so. It's a noticable difference, but not hazardous, in my view.

Thanks Erik.

 

[Erik]

No problem.
