@@MidwesternGarageThank you for the video. Thank you for the feedback. Just cant beat 1st hand experience. I can look at specs all day long but it tells me next to nothing about how it acts in the application.
If it's stock steering box & column...it should work. Sorry I never saw this comment until just now. You can also message steerman, he is quick to respond & very good to deal with
I have a 68 Ford F100 4x4 FE 360 manual floor shift, and I contacted Dustin Steerman from Steerman Cycle where this kit it was purchased and he told me we need "kit B", I just purchased it! I'm so excited!
I have the same kit, but mine still feels like manual steering. I can hear it power on and click with key on power 12v confirmed, but it doesn’t turn like yours does with such ease. Any suggestions?
I am very sorry for the delayed response. I somehow missed your message. Hopefully you have it resolved by now. If it still isn't working properly, I would obviously check the fuses and verify you are getting 12 bolts to the key on (I'm assuming you do if it clicks) and the main power supply from the battery. Making sure you have good ground course on an older, most likely rusty truck is key. You need to make sure the truck itself is grounded well. From the battery to the engine, from the engine to the frame and from the frame to the cab. I was working on a '60 F250 that had good ground to the engine and cab but nothing to the frame (tail lights wouldn't work because they were grounded to the frame at the rear). Hope this helps in some way
@@MidwesternGarage thumbs up for the good answer! People dont seem to think about the grounds on older rigs and end up fighting gremlins until we get it more thoroughly grounded.
I would also add I think the unit draws about 9 amps and if your older vehicle has a small alternator you may want to consider upgrading to a higher amperage alternator
If the electric box decides to fail is the truck still steerable? Thanks
It just goes back to manual steering. I drove it around with the unit off and it was basically just like it was before

Nice! I've been wondering about this kit for my 73 f350, and I'm sold on it. Great vid!
Any kind of death wobble after installing this power steering kit?
Nope.
@@MidwesternGarage ok awesome thank you. I have a 74 need to upgrade steering. Would you recommend steerman?
The guy I installed this for still drives it regularly. It's been a year & a half since installed without any problems
I am converting my 76 crew cab to 4x4 with superduty axels. Would I be able to use this kit? It’s an F350

Very nice. Did you add power brakes to the factory drum or upgrade to disk?
Sticking with drums for now. The guy wants disc and we will swap to a newer style open nuckle Dana in the future
Would this work on my 1968 F100 4x4?
I'm pretty sure they have a kit for those
