yeh the steering box was out of a tj wrangler. the hoses were around the right way and had bled the lines to get the air out...i ended up going back to where i got it from and swapped it over for a steering box out of an xj cherokee. the boxes appear the same to me but i really am not sure?? put it in and all seems sweet now so they must be the same.
thx for your reply turbomart...i didnt think they would have any boxes there to exchange or would give me a refund so all has worked out well
