I don't think you can go wrong with either.....but I know several members have each type so lets see what they say.

I don't have any experience with Flaming River...they might be great, but I've used Ididit products several times and can't say enough good things about them. The quality is tops and the customer service better! They always have a willingness to help you out with problems and stand behind products like you'd expect. Once at a car show I asked them about a cracked signal switch canceling device in my column and they dropped what they were doing to empty out some boxes until they found the part I needed. Gave it to me with instructions on how to install it and wouldn't charge me a penny for the part. They never even asked how old it was. They just smiled and said thanks. Man, I was impressed and would never buy anything but an Ididit column.

I agree with the S-10's. I don't see a need to overspend on a column that does the same thing as one from a salvage yard. I have a column from a monte carlo, been in there for 18 years. No problems ever!.........CR

Flaming River and Ididit............used them both. Both great. Ididit has more direct applications. Check each site for tech before purchase. Make CERTAIN you have final seating in place.

Yogi's on this site can help.

Keep kroozen, Jim

Thanks for all the replys,I decided on Ididit, went down to Old Dogs in St Louis and knocked out most of my steering delima. sure is shiny,now if I could just get my truck back ,I'd put everything on. Slowly but surely piece by piece.some day it will all be a truck again.
