OK, I have some info to share. I literally just got off the phone with a FCA rep regarding my steering box. I haven't had massive dead spot issues or massive wandering, just a very little bit of wander. My problem was the box was weeping but not dripping fluid.
Long story short FCA followed up with me, I told them the local area rep said they won't fix the gear box since it isn't dripping. FCA guy said that's not good, it shouldn't even be damp. Long story short they are replacing my 2018 original aluminum gear box with the new upgraded version which is cast iron. Something about going back to cast iron because it does better with temperature issues and they've had good results thus far with the new design.
