Just a little update.
The garage said that Isuzu claims it'll take 6-8 weeks to get the steering box. RamAirZ is kindly sending me his spare. I'll start looking tomorrow for a new set of seals for it. They really only need the sector shaft from the donor box.
Yah, I had comp but being the miser that I am, I have a $1K deductable so I'll be out a little ching.
