Don't bother. Try Meridian in San Diego. There are parts in the factory box you can't separate. | ||

thanks joe, that is consistent with other info i had rcvd, it's an expendable item on the truck. | ||

Donald, when you get to the install be sure to search archives. Lots of good info. I learned a valuable lesson when I installed a used box and found the hose fittings crossthreaded. Had to remove and bottom tap! Also final alinement of the steering wheel is trickey. Alinement can fix a little but pay carful attention to keep everything as close as possible. | ||

If I remeber right, the basic rebuild kit for the box is about $120. I purchased one to rebuild mine but then I found out I could just get a box from Meridian for under $300....so I returned the rebuild kit. I have about 40K miles on my Meridian box and it still works well. | ||

rebuilt kit is like $20-25 so if you have a spare box and the tools i suppose it's worth trying just to learn. but practically i think it is probably better to buy a rebuilt unit. rd |
