There are manual steering boxes available for 9th generation 3/4 ton suburban and chevy/GMC trucks. I already located them. They are around $200.
I am trying to keep power steering for situations such as:
Driving off road
Fighting cross winds
Backing up a trailer
Driving on real uneven road
When my wife drives it
The manual boxes have ratios around 25:1 where power steering boxes have between 12 and 15 to 1.
