Steering wheel off 90°

I did keep it but ima get my moneys worth out of this one.

Why?
The correct rag joint is like $35. Tell your hack mechanic you want your $400 back. Tell him he can keep that incorrect steering shaft and stick it up his you know what.

It takes about 10 minutes to swap the rag joint.

I'm starting to lean towards that. My problem is he's over an hour away, as I was at my camp when problems arose. Paying for another shaft, not knowing if he'll refund me, is another issue. Money gets tight. He already swears he ordered what the truck called for. If it was just down the road, I would've already addressed it further.

Dude probably did his best to get you out of a jam. I would let it go, buy your rag joint or your new shaft lay in appropriate adult beverages, point those tires straight and swap it out (30 mins including break for hydration) and you will know its good. Once that is done get you an alignment and enjoy your truck.

Can’t the steering wheel be removed and clocked 90 degrees till the root problem is fixed?

Make sure your mechanic isn't a r3t@rd like me and just put the thing on the box 90 degrees off. In my defense though, the whole front end was way off when I did it so it's not like it was right then wrong.

From what he said it only goes on the box one way because of the slot in it.

He did, & it helped me out big time. Otherwise, I'd a had to have it towed home or left it there, which I didn't want to do because it's the only truck that tows my pontoon, & we were going out on it the next day.

It can be f'd up, trust me. The bolt will go in just fine.
