I am getting a rattle in my stering when I turn, It feels like
it is between the stering wheel and the lower linkage, has anyone
had this prob???

Only you...and everyone else on this site.

Search for: Intermediate Steering Shaft

Ya im dealing with it right now. From what i have found we need to replace the ISS.

i've been having that as well. doesnt' bother me to much since i know its not going to fall out.

Thanks I will check into it

Everyne on this forum has had the same problem. Dealers supposedly have a fix for it. Mine started at about 30K miles. Had it repaired at the dealers shop. Now have 70K and all is OK so I guess their fix whatever it was works ok.

Moved to Suspension and Steering

I take it this is not a recall item?

:hehe: The ISS is, but 9 times out of 10 the new ISS doesn't fix it (it did not fix mine). Buy a $3 muffler clamp and be done with it. Use the search feature and search for steering and clunk and clamp... you'll find what you need.

Good luck!

I just did it to mine bout an hour ago and all is quiet. So so nice.

I have an '05 CCSB 2500 with 6" lift and 35's. This is what I have done. It is a culmination of some of the things that I have heard on DP and it is working well; with little danger of cracking the steering bushing (white).

I cut a strip of 1/8" thick rubber to 3/8" wide and about 6" in length (this parts sounds shabby but hear me out). I taped a small zip tie to the rubber strip-long ways- and then secured it to the 3/8" wide trough on the stering column that is just below the two steel welded "L" shaped brackets which are on the steering wheel side of the white bushing (you can find many photos of this bushing if you search this site). Once the 3/8" piece is secured, I cut a 7" piece of 1/4" thick rubber (all of this stuff is in the plumbing section of Home Depot) to 1" wide.
I took a 3.0" coupling, which is for connecting iron plumbing pipes, (it has the corrugated tin in between the pipe clamps) I re-configured the clamps onto the corrugated tin, so that the width between the two was 1" (they touch). I taped the 1" rubber strip to the double clamp coupling (long ways) and secured it with the two clamps, over the 3/8" piece that was already zip-tied on the column. It is very obvious with the width, where it fits. You will have to trim here and there, but it fits very securely and is working well. Additionally, you have done nothing you cant easily undo and unlike the 2" exhaust clamp, you are in little danger of fracturing the bushing.

If I had to do it again, the actual install would be about :10.

Hope this helps-Jason
