Has anybody priced the new 26 steering box?

It looks expensive. Maybe INEOS will do us a solid and sell it for less profit

I inquired at my dealer and was told it was not possible to retrofit the new steering box in previous model years. This seems dubious, I suspect it can be retrofitted, but as a result they would not even quote me a price.

This is the same old story, remember when they said you couldn't add trailer wiring after the fact.

 

[Dougn]

yeah that sounds wrong

 

[Dougn]

they may say that because people would complain and want it for free....maybe starting a lemon thing or a lawsuit. bad press

I am 99% certain you can retrofit the new steering box they just don't have the inventory to support lots of swaps and don't want to give the impression that the old box was in some way defective. Give it some time and the swap will become commonplace assuming you are willing to pay the likely substantial cost.

That's more or less what I was saying. They did exactly that with the trailer wiring fiasco.
