Borgeson 000950 Steering Shaft Assembly

Fit my 1995 Dodge Ram 2500. Haven’t driven the truck yet bcuz I have the whole front end tore apart but this shaft seems to be good quality and more heavy duty than then the stock shaft. Highly recommend using Blue Loctite on the Allen head bolt and 13mm bolts. I used a Center punch to punch the threads on flat on the steering box shaft. It does come with directions. I also painted the shaft black to help prevent corrosion. Do not paint where the shaft slides though it will not slide smoothly.

In my opinion and experience, Borgeson generally makes pretty good steering components, however, this one came missing a critical set screw that COULD have proven to be disastrous had I not noticed or known any better. When someone pays this kind of money for the increased level of quality over OEM, they SHOULD be able to at least expect a complete assembly. It may only be a .50 cent set screw. Most people might have probably just 'sucked it up' and bought the darn set screw from their local hardware store without saying a word. It just irks me that this happened and I wanted to vent about it...

Purchased and installed with the Borgeson 800120 steering gearbox. This gearbox and shaft set are designed as an exact replacement/ upgrade for Dodge Ram trucks and does so perfectly. Installation was simple and straightforward. I have installed several Borgeson steering upgrade parts over the years for others who have been very satisfied. This is the first install of Borgeson parts on my own vehicle and I am very glad I did it. The quality and manufacturing of the parts is second to none, finishing is flawless. Comparing designs, the Borgeson seems a much better choice: built of better materials, and likely to outlast the stock shaft by many years & miles.

Amazon says 000950 fits a 2003 Ram 2500 4X4 5.9 Cummins. It doesn't fit. It's about 5 inches short. After I looked it up on Borgeson it shows I need a 000951. Returning and going to try the 00951.

If you own a 2nd gen Dodge Ram 2wd pickup this is a must to have. The original one from the factory had slack and was recalled. The Borgeson shaft is very heavy duty and provides smooth steering. They have great tech support. Awesome product.

Easy install. You need “Flat Spots” on which to tighten down the set screws which hold the shaft in place unlike the OEM shafts which have “clamp type” attachments. They are a more expensive than ORM design, but they are more robust shafts and u-joints.

Nice shaft, heavy duty. Didn't notice much on the original until I took it off, then noticed a little wear in the u joint, so glad I replaced it. Truck as 160,000 miles on it, so I guess it was due although with this one, I never expect to replace the steering system again. 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel 4x4.

Great upgrade replacement for my 1999 dodge 2500. it was a quick and easy install. i like the set screw design and it holds tight. It took alot of play at out of my steering and the thumping noise in steering went away.
