Awesome video! After watching this 11 or more times, making excuses for about 4 months, and finally having plenty of time I swapped my steering shaft in my 1990 s10 pickup. Steering shaft came from, if I can remember correctly was a 96' cheerokee. I cut about an inch off the solid lower shaft after getting it apart with a heat gun. I removed the steering column to make sure I grinded enough where the steering shaft goes over the lower column. Everything took about 1 hour and 10 minutes total but I have went over this in my head at least 100 times. Thanks for posting video and if your reading this, you can definitely do this!

Great info and presentation! Thanks!

Wow it fit like a glove, great job 👏

Nice to see a video of actually how somebody does it have a 92 S10 has a 2.8 in it though but I am going to do this thank you

I needed to see this! Thanks for sharing

A pretty good uprade thanks for the info.

Nice Work ! There, Good Video Too ! Thank You

Good video, but Hooker headers sells a steering shaft for thr 1st and 2nd gen S10. They sell for $115. Hooker Headers Blackheart LS steering shaft.

I just did this mod! My tips are! Pinch bolts are 13mm, it’s impossible to collapse the shaft while it’s still in the jeep! Your gonna have to remove the 3 17mm bolts that hold the steering gear box! Than just push the gear box out of the way! Once it’s off! You don’t need heat to separate the two half’s! Just use a heavy flat peace of steel and bang on the edge of the shaft lightly!

Great video! I have similar sloppiness in my truck. The seal on the joint closest to the firewall has split and put oil all over the header. The video title says 1994 jeep grand Cherokee but description says 1995 jeep grand Cherokee. Was this just a typo? Which year shaft is it or are both years 94 and 95 the same out of the jeep? Going to do this upgrade over the winter most likely.

S10 sounds awesome 😎

Great video. What steering box do you have in your truck. Is it manual box or factory steering gear? And if it is a factory what did you do to make it manual?

Should also work for the GMT400 trucks, need the shaft from a 84-94 XJ Jeep Cherokee (not Grand Cherokee ZJ i believe). I think there is a safety issue using them in 97-99 trucks though.

I'm not sure why I watched this, I already did it to my S10. It was a necessity given Ls and headers, the stock shaft was rubbing the header primary pretty hard. Super easy upgrade and yes, it works on later models as well. Mine being a 98. Just make sure the Jeep shaft is clocked correctly as there are models that won't work.

I thought I, could put some extent ions, together. lol! j Malcolm, brought me here. nice truck

Nice video and keep the good work! I have an S10 95, maybe this same modification works for her? She has a very uncomfortable sloppy movement in the steering, I actually think it's dangerous. Would the problem be on that axle or in the steering box? remembering that all parts of the suspension are new, except axle and steering box.

So why heat up the hard plastic & separate the shaft,then lubes it before Installing it?

What headers are you running

"Check this reach-around" lmao

You are saying this came out of a Grand Cherokee but it looks like the one from a Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee one is fatter on the ends. Also when sliding the shaft in and out I found that if you take an air hammer and clamp one end in a vise and hammer on the other part, the vibration of the air hammer will loosen the most stubborn shafts.

Nice, that’s what I need for my mustang , I just got it a few months ago it’s the 97 gt wanted a fox body but getting hard to find good deals on.ive been so raped up in it I haven’t even picked up an air rifle since I had it ,, that motor looks so sweet bro,,how many horses?? I’m getting ready to yank mine an start from ground up but I’m not really a mechanic so ,lol

What radiator you have in that beast

awesome my friend! im doing the same thing and that shaft is the same one for an A body car also , get rid of them rag joints and im sure i will be doing the same mods so thanks for the vid! as always awesome!! for once i wanna be questioned about my age lol

You don’t live to far away from me,,do u do mechanical work for other people if so I was thinking of doing a coyote swap instead of building up the 4.6 is that something you would be interested in??

I wonder if this modification will work on a 2002 Chevy Blazer I really don't like the rag style that it came with

That's a good low cost solution ……….about 15 years ago I spent 225.00 for a Borgenson steering shaft with U-joints on both ends for my s10 v8...……...its still tight as a tick...…..buy once......cry once...…….

Link on how I could find those headers?

Astra van steering shaft is direct bolt in.

so 94 jeep Grand cherokee?

Hey will that jeep steering shaft work in a 99 chevy s10

Anyone know the size of those pinch bolts on either side of the shaft? I’m gonna pick one up at a junkyard and would rather take as little tools as possible.

The ford f150 had some years you could use

how much hydration (adult beverages) did it take to finish the job.

Use a 94,,94works with gbody s10 80’s caprice

Thanks for mentioning the heating up idea. I was ready to hammer the f outta it

A new shaft from jeep spare parts would work well.

I think you could save that steering wheel if you just painted it black.

94 or 95 a answer would be greatly appreciated

Does it work on a 2002 s10

jeep parts in a chevy? 👎
