New (reman) steering box, now steering sucks

[RCCUMMINS89]

Swapped out the box..........new still stiffer than I'd like but doesn't fight me to the right.

Did you wring off the original lines into the box? I'm digging for a P/N or a thread size for when I tackle this job.

[RCCUMMINS89]

I was able to use off the original lines.

This might be of help to you,uping the psi might help the stiffness.

I'll have to look into that.......thanks

Eric, if that doesn't make a difference, loosen the sheet metal locknut on the input shaft of the box, then back off the input assembly with a spanner about 1/16-1/8 of a turn.
When I did my cab swap my input shaft was rust pitted and leaked all the time, so I swapped in the input assembly from the donor truck. Before the truck was loosey goosey light steering and all over the road. After the swap it was a little tight feeling. I backed it off that much and it steers nice and smooth now. A few years later I was reading in the FSM and saw I adjusted it just like the book said to.
