Not to the TC per say but I have been having some steering wheel play and the only thing in the front end that was still original was the steering box. So at 130,000 miles we ordered a new one and had it installed. I got it from these guys http://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/re-manufacturing Looking at the cramped space where it is located I am so glad I opted not to DYI. The shop mgr said he could hear the mechanic cursing my truck during the removal and install. Haven't driven it with the TC
on yet but unloaded it was night and day, so much better

Buzzcut, I did the exact same on my F350. I've been super impressed with the Red head steering gear. One other thing. Look at your front ball joins. I replaced those at the same time as the steering gear and the improvement was just unbelievable. Cheers

Way ahead of you, Already did the upper and lower ball joints, new steering stabilzer and new tie rods & bushing, and sway bars. This was just the last piece.

update. Ruth just called from I5 in Stocton , she is driving the truck with the Lance and the three horse trailer with two horses on board. They went over the seriously rough Altamont Pass section of 580 in gusty winds. She said it handled like a dream going down grade in tow haul at 50 mph. I would call that sucess.
