    I found a reman by Cardone for a little over $200 including the core and shipping. I think I'm going that route.

    I thought there was a conversion kit available that simply eliminates the power cylinder & control valve (?).

    I have one of the newer better ones on my borgeson setup right now, it came with the power steering gearbox conversion. It does ok but honestly im going to replace it with a manual centerlink and pitman arm as soon as possible.
    To buy the conversion joints you are still looking in the $150 range.
