Like everything else with the truck, amazingly simple :lol:

The steering dampener will be the tricky part

No pal help required? Excellent 8-)

May swing by for a pickle fork, but that would be it.

yellow means better

After ruining a pep boys pickle fork rather awesomely, swung by Pal Perf LLC.

After getting a chunk of rust in my eye, a real pickle fork did the trick and dampener swapped out.

Next up, SS brake lines. Le ****.

Do yourself a favor and remove the bed before you start the brake lines.

I have heard that, or dropping fuel tank as well...?

Yeah, my brother and I found it easier/faster to lift the beds off our trucks. 8 bed bolts, one plug and the fuel filler neck from the bedside.

Don't really wanna deal with broken torx bolts

Don't worry, that will be the easiest part. Prob be ordering brake line kit on Thursday I think. Pepper.

Probably going to buy all of them today. Sorry bro, fresh outta stock :|

Order went through, odd..?

New SS hard lines and flex braided on their way.

He meant he would buy them all so you would get none...

Oh I know what he meant :lol:

Looks like someone just volunteered their hands and patience at the task......Brian! :D

Happy to help.....buy pizza. JK. Would like the opportunity to ruin someone elses vehicle rather than my own.

So in what started as "lets just check the bleeders and maybe do the rears today" turned into.. "**** it lets do it all"

Thank you GM for some crappy OEM brake lines..

Again, huge thanks to Adam, would not have gotten any of this done without his help.

Nice job!

I slept sooooo gooooood :lol:

Thanks, it went better than expected I think.

:rofl: I bet, least it wasn't a 2am night like you had wished for.

Another successful job!

Needs an alignment, figuring the last alignment pulled the slack out of the pitman/idler and now with new stuff its pulled back to much. But, no more sloppy steering at highway speeds. Life is good :)

So I guess we didn't need that washer :lol:

weight savings!

Looks good and I'm sure not a single torque spec was followed.

My logic was he weighs around 184 lbs and if he stood on one foot, he could torque to 184 ft lbs by hand. What actually happened was he had 2 big ass wrenches flexing the steering box. Its fineeeeeeeeeeeeee.
