Your skill level will determine whether or not you should attempt any of these DIY's... do them at your own risk.
Use common sense when working on your truck... wear safety goggles when needed and I recommend a good set of mechanics gloves... I have GoJo's which have a rubberized palm fingers to grip nuts bolts better. They are tight fitting and work great.
