My pitman broke backing into a parking spot yesterday, so I watched your video and fixed it all today, anyone approaching this be sure to verify if your pitman has a 3 or 4 slot arm. Thanks for the content, it was nice to go in knowing what to do and look for. Very informative and good visuals.

@matthewschroebel421 Жыл бұрын

For those wondering just how to count slots ... you can tell the difference in 3 or 4 by pushing up the sleeve on the shaft of the steering box, then you can see the grooves and slots

I never use a puller on Pitman arms anymore. Use a cutting disc and cut through Pitman arm. Use a tapered chisel and spread it. Thing falls right off. Just a little fyi for anyone having issues.

Did this today on a Duramax. I customized my pitman arm puller to fit between front sub frame and steering box shaft. Did not jack up or take wheels off. Idler arm and bracket was easy and breaking pitman free from center link was easy. Pitman steering shaft was a nightmare until I customized my puller. My front end rattles are gone and the steering is tight. Used 15” HF Crescent wrench to undo nut and finished it with a 1 5/16 NAPA impact socket with a HF swivel head ratchet. Saved $1,700 quote for about $220 parts and a few tools. Used 1/2 breaker bar and socket to tighten new pitman arm nut to 184 ft lbs. new riding truck!!!

I appreciate the video. I have watched a bunch and this one was really good. I needed to replace the steering gear box, pitman arm, idler arm, and idler bracket. Since I was replacing all those items I left the pitman arm on the steering gear and idler arm on the idler arm bracket when I removed them. After I got the steering box and pitman arm out, I had to remove the pitman arm only so I could get the dust seal off the put on the new one as it did not come with one. I had a horrible time trying to remove the pitman arm with a puller and impact wrench and I even bent the puller without ever getting the arm off. When I got another puller, a mechanic told me to just slightly tighten the puller, knock the arm gently with a hammer, and keep slowly tightening the puller and hitting with a hammer. Doing it this way made it really easy and the arm came off fine.

As a note, when using a Pitman arm puller, leave the steering gear nut on just far enough to protect the steering gear output shaft threads.

Thanks for taking your time and explaining in such detail. went from not hardly understanding and wanting to say screw it and drop it off to being fully confident in being able to follow these steps to do it myself. I do have to ask how did the truck feel after doing this? I have had a lot of wiggle in my steering and trying to eliminate that. Thanks!

@dannyjohnsonsgarage 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I didn’t see many videos on it either. The truck honestly felt pretty similar (a shop failed me on inspection and I was forced to fix it. I don’t think it was necessarily dangerous, but it did help). I also installed inner and outer tie rods. The overall steering is tighter now, but I feel the worn steering box and teeth within will always leave the steering a bit sloppy. I’ll give you the link to the other videos I made that also includes shocks, wheel bearings, and tie rods. Good to fix those things before you pay for an alignment if you want.

How many miles on ya rig before you started to notice the failure... mine is @ just over 120k and I'm gonna be under there soon to do shocks and inner/outer tie rod replacement.

James Koenig I have 200k miles on it and honestly would not have cared, but it was failed on safety inspection by some hot shot who replaced his once, so he failed me on it. I also have videos on tie rods and shocks if you’re interested

Why did you replace those? What issues were you having?

@dannyjohnsonsgarage 4 жыл бұрын

It is typically from loose and sloppy steering. I honestly felt it was fine but it was failed on inspection by some punk kid who smirked at me and said he just replaced his and it was a pain to do so now it was my turn.

Oh Jay I would for sure look at the components to see if any are loose, and then also look into inner and outer tie rods. Lift the front wheels off the ground and shake the front wheels by hand to see if they move back and forth kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcCknZSAmcvdgH0.html

Sir Sweetness I have both standard and metric and I used what was the tightest fit. You might be able to use metric, but be cautious not to strip any bolts if it’s loose

Sway bar?

@sirsweetness8332 5 жыл бұрын

Scott Reinert Read and watched other videos that said this job can be done without undoing the bolts on sway bar. I am going to try this because I am afraid of breaking bolts off in frame. I am also changing out the idler arm bracket so taking out as 1 unit. I have had to weld bracket on before to a sway bar because bolt was broken off on top side and I couldn’t drill out and get new bolt without taking engine out.
