    Yeah, thats in my watch list. If the other one doesn't work out (if it has play right out of the box), I'llbe attempting to return it and will likely get the reman'd one.

    for 299 your gold, they figured out how to fix them. Can't wait for results.

    Did you try to tighten that adjuster on the top of the box? Some say it works and others say it dont.

    Yeah, I tried it. All it did was get was stick in the middle. Its ttally worn out. I'll be getting to the box replacement soon and will post results.

    Yeah, so you may read, they sent the worng f'in box. I'm returning it and will try again. After getting mine on the bench, I noticed the pitman arm connection to the output shaft was lose, which may have been part of the issue. Once tightened, there was very little play in the box. In the meantime, I may reassemble everything and check all other sources of play.
