Re: GU steering box into GQ?
not sure on pumps and lines but you will also need gu steering relay rod. the gu pitman arm is upside down compared to gq
If i just overtook you head to your nearest mechanic
Re: GU steering box into GQ?
Thanks mate. I've got an adjustable draglink so I was going to put a GU tie rod on that end.ssfabricator wrote:not sure on pumps and lines but you will also need gu steering relay rod. the gu pitman arm is upside down compared to gq

Re: GU steering box into GQ?
i found you need the GU Pump to make it work when backing off from revs to idle in the bush you loose power steering for a second or to.

Thanks to this post because my friend was to able to put the GU steering box into the GQ. He had some troubles on how to put it but luckily we found this thread. It was really helpful and saves my friend some money from the mechanic.ssfabricator wrote:not sure on pumps and lines but you will also need gu steering relay rod. the gu pitman arm is upside down compared to gq

I have superior adjustable drag link and I have had look at some pics of GU drag links . Can I rotate the drag link end at steering box 180* to make it fit?

Re: GU steering box into GQ?
The GU pitman arm has a different size taper to the GQ from memory, could be wrong though............SIM79 wrote:Thanks OUTLAW565. Did you upgrade your steering pump as well?OUTLAW565 wrote:Whats a good price for a GU box and GU pump?

I have a GU engine in my truck already with the GU steering pump. You will need a new end on your draglink at the steering box end as the GU pitman arm has a different taper than the GQ pitman arm.

Re: GU steering box into GQ?
just measured gu and gu lhs draglink holes in the hubs and pitches are both within 1mm of one another only difference is over the thickness (top to bottom) is 2 mm less in a gq. has anyone tried bolting them up?
Re: GU steering box into GQ?
i did the swap yesterday and had no problems with the gq tierod fitting the gu box.ive done it many times before on comp trucks aswell
and never had an issue.you just have to flip the tierod end around at the pitman arm.

Re: GU steering box into GQ?
I have not used a GU end on mine, and the GQ one has not loosened at all as it has a castle nut with a split pin through it. Its done nearly 10 000k and no probs yet.
