S1 Ep. 17: When it comes to steering gearboxes for diesel trucks, the options can be overwhelming. From the affordable to the top-of-the-line, it can be hard to know where to turn.
Personally, I've had great experiences with Blue Top. The Blue Top provided excellent performance at a great price, while PSC is a quality brand with supposedly unmatched durability.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Redhead. I found their quality and customer service to be lacking, which was a major disappointment.
Overall, choosing the right steering gearbox for your diesel truck can make a huge difference in your driving experience. While PSC may be expensive, the investment is worth it in the long run. And for those on a budget, the Blue Top is a great option. Don't settle for less than the best when it comes to your ride!
Thanks for listening!

This episode I am joined by Erik, and we discuss the benifits of a dry air filter vs. an oiled air filter. Now understand there is no issue with running with a factory oiled filter. Everything is subject to opinion, but we do typically like to run dry filters in our diesel trucks!

Diesel winter gelling is a major issue that can leave you stranded, and if you are not prepared it can put you in a very bad position. We talk about as many points that I can remember off the top of my head. One correction is that gelling happens at 15 degrees fahrenheit not 32!
