“When I took the truck to the dealer to be fixed the dealer made the comment this is a common problem with the steering columns. If you can send me a e-mail address I can send photos of the steering column and the cracks in the metal. There was only about 3/4 of an inch of metal holding the steering column together. I hate to think what the results would be if this failure had occured in a emergency situation. Joe gilardi.”
