@Redrockjk hey Dustin, I know you have done a ton of these change outs. Have you seen this on a 3.0?Went by the dealership and met with the mechanic. It is no secret that the engine compartment of the 3.0 diesel is very crammed. According to him, and what he showed me, the steering box can be loosened and turned but will not fit through the space inside the engine compartment without sliding the radiator forward about 1/2" to 1". Because I put an aftermarket front bumper and winch on the Jeep the dealership said I would have to pay for 1-2 hours of labor time. to move it forward so that they could move the radiator and front grill forward.
It seems unnecessary to me but I'm no mechanic. He said he has done many on the 3.6 and it was easy with no space issues.
