    Need steering rack adjustment tool

    Same issue here I'm chasing down. Adjusted the rack and pinion tension spring to just where it bottomed out and it made little change. Still have slop. When I rotate the steering shaft by hand in the engine bay it seems from steering wheel to rack and pinion input shaft is 1:1. I can swear all...

    Perch Mod Discussion

    It finally broke free!!!! Thank god the other side only took a couple hard whacks and moved. Decided since I've done this much work I might as well rebuild them too since they're out and don't rebound when you push the rod in. Just ordered the seal kit with 1/2 gal or Lucas oil. Thanks again...

    Perch Mod Discussion

    This thing is going to kill me! Its been soaking in vinegar, I got a 8lb sledge and banging the crap out of it. 0 movement. Whoever decided to put an uncoated steel snap ring has a special place in automotive hell. Got a 4x4 with a 1" hole drilled through it for the shock to sit on and a 4"...

    Perch Mod Discussion

    So I've tried reading all 159 pages, but my ADHD kicked in. I took out one of the two shocks today to do mid perch to stop my rubbing on 35x12.50. I beat that ******** thing like it owed me money and was my redheaded stepchild. I couldn't get the collar to move 1mm. Set screw removed, soaked...

    Did I just destroy my power steering pump?

    Yah i was wondering if the clean ATF just shocked the system and cleaned it a little too well. Kind of like doing a full flush on a transmission with 300k miles Yah god knows. A full degenerate owned it before me. I got it at an auction, so I can make up in my mind what kind of person used...

    Did I just destroy my power steering pump?

    Popping my post cherry! Just picked up a new to me 2010 with a 6.2L. Long story short, started looking over it after I picked it up and noticed PS fluid was black. Sucked it out and filled it back up with ATF like all my other trucks. Started noticing the next day it was not very powerful...
