replaced parking brake release handle(plastic broke) assembly. rear left quad door inside handle cable. right side mirror. all three parts got from lkq/pick u part, good price too. detailed interior real good. finally some prev maint and she's a happy camper.

 

Finally after many years of truck wander I had the rock solid kit installed after new track bar did nothing to improve it. Thought I would try this first instead of going the Redhead Steering Gear route. Steering has improved 100%. Wandering is gone.

 

changed the oil and washed the truck 2 days ago, 2300 miles since last oil change and didn't burn a drop...

 

Decided to see how it did pulling a trailer today whole helping s friend out

 

Bug looks pretty new to be sittin' on a trailer......

 

Installed the Redhead gear, got it bled and took it for a spin. No difference. Still won't return to center, still wanders, still has play, still, still. There is no hope anymore as I have done it all.

Also put on a new Spicer rear ujoint hoping that took care of the vibration. nope. Pretty much a full day of work with zero results.

There is no hope anymore as I have done it all: Thuren track bar, HD steering, alignment with 0 toe and 4+ caster, steering box brace, and now Redhead.

Rotate your tires. See if anything changes.
