4xfour

It's gonna be a long day fellas.

Yes it is sir. But at least your day didn't end with this yesterday

4xfour, I just replaced the same stuff in Dec. One tip -> use anti-seize. You'll see why when your taking some of the stuff apart!

Have fun.

jt94, yep that's not a very good way to end the day..
Tackle, didnt think of that... will do

youll have it done in no time. them control arms dont take long to replace. cant really tell what is in the other boxes though.

just remember that youll need to get the truck aligned after you put them control arms on unless of course you make some alignment marks where the control arms bolt up.

4xfour

Yep, alignment is getting done on thursday. Its upper control arms, lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, hub bearing, oil pressure switch, pcv valve, and heater core hoses.

good man.

sounds like a fun project. that thing will drive so much better lol.

the only thing youll probably have any trouble with will be the ball joints. tie rods and upper arms are pretty easy. again just make some alignment marks for the tie rods and upper arms so you dont throw it too far out of alignment.

them heater core hose quick released are a bitch to get off lol have fun with them.

oil pressure switch is no biggie. just have an empty bucket available unless youre doing an oil change at the same time youll be replacing that sensor. youll get some oil pouring out of the whole when you unscrew the sensor. might make it easier if you take the filter off.

Pity7700, thanks for all the advice!

You've rented or have a ball joint press and tie rod end puller (not just a pickle fork) I'm assuming? Will take hours of the job if you have them.

Pity7700

no problem dude. youll have that done in no time.
