Thumbnail Filmstrip of 5.9 Cummins 3T Steering Box 15:1 Ratio RedHead 2869-3T Images
Restore precision and confidence to your steering system with the RedHead Steering Gears 2869-3T Steering Box. Designed specifically for 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins engine, this unit is the definitive solution to vague or wandering steering. Each steering box undergoes a meticulous remanufacturing process that goes far beyond a simple rebuild, addressing common factory failure points to deliver a component that is often stronger and more reliable than the original. The 15:1 steering ratio provides a responsive, factory-like feel, making it an excellent upgrade for daily driven and light-duty work trucks.
This expert remanufacturing process includes several critical enhancements to ensure maximum durability and performance:
- Precision Machining: The housing is machined to install needle bearings, providing smoother, more reliable operation than the original factory bushings.
- Component Fortification: Sector shafts are checked for straightness on a lathe and are either replaced or flame-sprayed to restore critical tolerances, ensuring a tight, slop-free connection.
- Upgraded Internals: The worm and piston assembly is blueprinted and fitted with new, precision-fit steel ball bearings for flawless engagement. New control valves are also installed where applicable.
- Superior Sealing: All sealing surfaces are polished to a mirror-like finish—exceeding OEM specifications—to guarantee a leak-free service life.
- Direct-Fit Installation: Engineered as a direct-fit replacement, this steering box bolts directly into the factory location without any need for modification.
This 2869-3T steering box is specifically engineered for light to medium-duty applications where the truck is running tires under 37” in diameter primarily in on-road conditions.
Specifications:
Ratio: 15:1 (3 Turns)
Input: Small Input 25 Spline
Output: 32 Spline Sector 4 Master Spline
Fittings: O-Ring
Note: If your truck is used for off-roading, has tires that are larger than 37 inches in diameter, operating a snow plow or heavy front end, or more leverage is desired when steering, RedHead recommends running the 2869 4T Steering Box (18:1 Ratio)
