CrimsonStar said T3 has to add me into the database or something before I can..but I know a couple other people who have had the same problem. So, love to hear back from you T3 or anyone else who might know whats going on.
peace out!

We've got to get you setup in Source Mod. I'll get to it tomorrow if I get the chance. I've been working on my truck all day today and will be for most of the day tomorrow. Someone else might take care of it in the meantime though. We'll let you know when your setup in your application post.

Yesterday I did the majority of disassembly, but the factory uses pop rivets to set in the upper joint, so I spent a good hour yesterday and another 45 minutes today chiseling the heads off and then knocking the rivets out of the mount holes (was not an easy task). Today I'm going to finish taking out the lower ball joint (got to go get a ball joint press) and I'm going to go ahead and replace the outer tie rod ends (they're about ready to go). Hopefully I can get done in time to get to a shop and have an alignment done.

Wow, I remember my dad telling me about doing this once, he said it was the biggest pain ever to do and he's a very patient man. Hope the rest goes smoothly, good luck!

I actually got everything done last weekend. But when I went to crank the thing up for the test drive, I could hear a popping coming from the engine. I'm hoping it's just a busted head-gasket and nothing worse but I won't know until I can get some time to take the engine apart. Guess that's what I get for paying the thing off.

Yeah it's internal. Almost sounds like air popping, like one of the cylinder's is leaking when compressed, doesn't really have a metal clunking to it so I don't think it's anything too serious. Like I said, I'll have to wait until I can get in there and figure out what's going on.
