Has anyone changed the seals on there steering box or should i look for a new unit? Also i have a rumble from the rear diff but only does it in a straight line stops when cornering
i am going to change the oil and put something extra in with the oil ? has anyone got any thoughts.

just change the diff oil and see if the noise stops mate might be old or low oil.

Steering box I would not bother changing the seals its the shaft that becomes pitted and leaks and will mess up new seals

mine has leaked since owning the truck 3 or 4 years now

Stick some lucas power steering stop leak in it take as much normal fluid out with a suction gun or turkey baster and fill back up with the wyns it has slowed mine right down still leaks but barley

I bought a reconditioned unit from these people a couple years back, good service and had no problems since.
