Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1521065, member: 103"] Resurrection time... Right now I have a 2016 box from the VIN posted here hanging off the frame on my 02. So far I can tell you the input shaft is obviously different, I plan to grind the rivets out of the old "rag joint" and install the new end from the 2016 lower shaft onto my old shaft unless someone can tell me a direct drop in shaft that will connect my 02 steering column to this box. As for bolting it up.... I drilled the frame holes (which are identically spaced) with a 21/32" bit and installed M16-2 x 5.2" bolts from an LS7 dry dump harmonic balancer. The factory frame on the 2016 is not as large as the frame on the 2002 superduty, so the factory bolts are too short from the 2016. The chevy HB bolts are perfect and also grade 10.9. I just cut the washers off the LS7 bolts.

The pitman arm has a larger taper for the drag link on 05+ than pre 05. My 2002 drag link rod end just falls right through. I got the specs from Moog on 2005 and 2002 and they are very different in size, but I can't find a rod end with the 2005 taper and the 2002 thread. How the *** did you connect the pitman arm to the axle??? [/QUOTE]
