Is a 1 Ton steering box different than a half ton steering box

99DodgeRam360 · 11-04-2009, 10:25 AM

I was wondering if a 1 ton steering box is different than a half ton steering box. The way i mean different is it more heavier duty than the half ton and if they are different can i put it on my half ton.

They're the same.
If your still not sure, call Dodge and see if there's different part numbers.

I just looked up napa and autozone part numbers for ya and they are both different. 1 ton gas or diesel from napa or autozone is p.n. 88278136 or 7547. For a 1/2 ton its 88278122 or 7533 and the prices are different as well. Could be as simple as the heavier one has a lower ratio

. Find someone with a 1 ton and count the splines on both shafts. If they're the same as yours I would think it would work fine.
