Truck is a 1992 Ford L9000 dump truck, 3406C, 8LL.
The left side steering gear is (has been) leaking from the input, and maybe elsewhere as well. Does anybody have any preferred suppliers or good parts guys somewhere that knows these gears? I find steering gears that may match or be close on the parts numbers from various random internet sources, but I know from my automotive repair days that the gears all look the same but they aren't.
The stamping on the gear reads "Hydra Steer" TAS65289
The intermediate shaft is loose where it clamps the the input on the gear, it flops close to a quarter inch, which doesn't seem right . . . pickups don't do that anyway. Where might one look for a replacement intermediate shaft for a truck that the manufacturer turned their back on 20 years ago?
