GMC/Chevy steering gear box

Just curious if any other GMC/Chevy owners out there (I know, few and far between) have had any trouble with their steering gear boxes? I'm referring to the later models, say 2005 on up. In 4 years/42,000 miles I am now on my FIFTH steering gear box. None of them have totally failed, but it starts to wander, and some of them have gotten "growling noises" in them. To their credit (my dealer, anyway) they have stood behind them all and continued to replace them under warranty, even though that part of the truck is now "technically" out of warranty. And, I now have a "case number" assigned to me/my truck! Gee, I feel honored, I think......

The last gearbox lasted about 100 miles/one month. I hope number 5 does better. I'm also looking for the "made in China" label on it, but thank goodness haven't found any......yet.

So, the saga continues....... However, I am, overall, still VERY happy with the truck, especially the Duramax/Allison combo!
