I have had the Red Head on my 94 for two years. It is ok, not great. It still has more slack than when the truck was new.

I've had to replace both colors on other people's trucks because of strange failures barely outside the warranty period. One failed with NO feedback or return-to-center; with the engine running, the steering wheel could be spun with 1 finger like a cheap toy, or like the steering column was not connected. But the still truck steered. The box was ~15 months old and was not warranted - I charged the owner a few hundred $$ to scrap it & install this:
