Likely you have the one with greater turns, making it too easy to steer; you should get much better feel from the one with lesser turns.
You have adjusted the worm gear, haven't you? Sometimes too little engagement can make it too sensitive, slop-wise. Ironically, too deep engagement makes it too sensitive, causing it to wanna keep going too far in direction you just turned it.

I'm just curious. Was looking to tighten it up a little for highway driving. I don't think I want to get into swapping out steering gears. Was just looking for something simple. I have adjusted my worm gear to where there's no "play" in the steering wheel.
I'm leaning towards an adjustable valve from Brothers to go on the lines to let some of the pressure off or maybe just have an alignment shop work the caster as far as they can to tighten it up just bit.
I don't want to lower my truck any and just want the stock 3/4 ton height to handle as best as possible.
