Ball joints replaced

[YabbaDoo]

Been meaning to get this posted before now however, it has been crazy busy... But here it is... The neighbor came by in time to help me put the hub assembly which weighs I believe at least as much as 2 bags of horse feed!!! Also had him take a greasy pic of me

I also replaced the Pitman arm as well that ate 2 Harbor freight pullers   I ended up going to Auto Zone to rent a good puller...lol

Nice job!    Nothing better than gettin' done yourself.  At least you know it was done right and to your standards.

I was going to do the injectors this weekend however, the back glass decided to change the game plan... After I filled up  Friday I got into the truck and heard a THUNK when I closed the door..   Hmmm, that didn't sound right... thought it may have been the back side window  wasn't locked but nope, out of the corner of my eye I saw the rear glass  flap   I drove very gingerly home and placed some gorilla tape on till morning... I knew I would be taking the window out to get the body work done that the previous owner caused some damage when he Jack knifed the 5 car hauler... Next will be paint....

Thank You   And to answer your question... Electrical, I'm not great with electrical

I really envy you southerners, it took a rose bud on a torch and More than 6 tons on a hydraulic press to get my bj's to pop loose...

Boy, he must of worked pretty hard to crank the top of the cab corner like that! That would have to be quite the steep angle, at that point you'd THINK he would be paying attention to where the trailer was!

Electricity always flows downhill.

I think it was the speed sensor that made it jack knife the way it did when he applied the brakes. When I first got the truck I took it to the tranny shop for a service and a good once over by a shop I trust, while it was up in the air the guy adjusted the back brakes for me because I said I would be doing it later that day (they were backed off pretty far too). Well let me tell you I put the truck sideways 3 times when barely touching the brakes!!!   Scary as hell and I am glad no one was beside me each time... I ended up changing the speed sensor for 10.00 and problem solved!!!
