I have a 99 D 4x4 and was wondering how hard it will be to change out the pitman and idler arms as well as tie rods? Or any place to get some instructions on how to replace these properly? Any help would be appriciated.

 

The best way to get the pitman off is with a pitman puller and a impact wrench. Soak it with liquid wrench or equivalent for a good 2 days before trying to pull it off. The rest isn't too bad. Get a Chilton's manual before you do it. The best and cheapest place to buy your part’s is Ebay.

 

Thank you. Still also considering trading up for a 2500 with a diesel.
