rebuilt steering box

[kglowacky]

I am having steering problems in the form of to much slop in the steering wheel. After about 50 it is hard to keep on the road. I started another thread awhile back and decided to move it to this forum. Quick history. Had steering box rebuilt before assembly of truck. All new ball joints etc. First drive in truck after total rebuild and the steering slop was real bad. Took box out (no fun) and took it back to the rebuilder. Next day he calls and says cracked top and worn worm gear. He replaces for free. (wasn't free the first time (LOL). Not sure what he did the first time. Now with new box on and I put 100 miles on it the slop remains , not as bad but not good. Took it to a c10 truck parts shop and they say my box is bad. Here is my question,Did some utube watching and there seems to be 2 ways to try to adjust the box to get rid of the slop. On ther top of the box there is a adjustment screw but everyone says not a good way to adjust. The second way is to adjust from the front of the box where the steering column attaches. Utube shows this adjustment with the box out of the truck. Has anyone done this adjustment in the truck Not sure I am going back to that rebuilder anyhow so if I tear it up then who cares as I am going to have to find a replacement or another rebuilder. Everyone's thoughts. Thanks
