Faster Steering Ratio I posted this on the truck side and not getting alot of feed back on this subject. I thought maybe someone over here could help out.
I wanna tighten up my steering on my '04 Sierra RCSB to much like my '99 T/A.
I've searched for some threads on this but doesnt seem to be really any conversation on the matter. Any ideas? Is as simple at a rack and pinion swap from a f-body? or is there kits out there?
Thanks.

Measure the mount and hose sizes. I'm switching my 95 z28 rack and pinon from a 02 Z28 SS rack with my new Umi K member and control arms. I believe the ratio on the 02 SS rack is faster then the 95 Z28's rack. I have notice that the r/p looks the same in alot of other GM. I'm not sure of the sizes of the mounts and hoses. But it's worth the try...

After spending some time last night looking on the internets I ran across some data on steering ratios. What I found is: the Trans AM with the WS6 package has a steering ratio of 14.4 where as my truck has a ratio of 14.2 I dont get it, if the truck as a better ratio then why does it not turn as well? Is it just the size of the steering wheel that is the difference?
