This is for the 2 wheel drive. Good luck getting the Pittman arm nut off on a 4 wheel drive. There's a crossmember in the way. To replace the steering box on a 4x4 separate the Pittman arm from the steering center link, remove the fluid lines (keep track of which goes where), remove the steering shaft bolt, remove the 3 bolts holding the steering gear to the frame, then either use an impact wrench to get the Pittman arm nut off or put the steering gear in a vice clamped on the Pittman arm then remove the nut. Note: during reassembly DO NOT use the stops of the Pittman arm rotation to torque the Pittman arm nut. Clamp the arm, then torque. Of course, be sure to clock the Pittman arm properly on the gear or you'll be removing it twice. If you're replacing the gear and the Pittman arm has to come out safe money is on just replacing the Pittman arm. Assembly is the reverse of removal. Removing the fan shrouds may make this job easier.

It's the best explaining video I ever saw about the steering box replacement thank you so much

it's a pretty simple job. I did this on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe z71. hardest part was getting Pittman arm off with puller. I recommend removing all 3 mounting through bolts first along with 2 pump lines, that way you can menouver gear box around to put puller on. Installing new box takes like 10 minutes putting new gear box on is

Great video, thank you!

I will need to replace this on my 07 Silverado Classic sometime this summer. Looks relatively easy. I will probably opt for a new pitman arm too. Thanks for the video

nice video... thanks for info!

Did you not have to disconnect the tie rod at the wheel before removing the nut from the pitman arm?

This video is very helper but it would have been even better if y'all would have say what tools and size of the tools needed to do this

What size are those bolts we like to watch everything and know which size the bolts are before we do the works

I like how these videos have no rust and everything just comes off so simple. Try that In Michigan and you better have your torch ready. we have to heat up every thing because its rusted!

Already did!! Thanks again!

Thank you!

Torque specifications for all the bolts ?

Is the 99 Silverado the same way? It’s a 2wd as well I just thought the pitman arm was a 4wd thing that’s why I’m asking

will a steering gear from a 96 Silverado for an 03? they look the same

34 mm socket is used for the pitman arm bolt

Is this the same for a Chevy 3500 with the 5.7

🙋Wanted to know if this same process could be used for the 2005 Hummer H2 SUT model?

What size flared nut wrench is that?

My truck is real loud when I pick up speed on it hard to turn any help don’t wana replace all kinds of stuff

Will the new steering box be stiff?

How do you know if your steering box is bad

Where can you rent that specific Pittman arm puller? I got one from AutoZone but it doesn't fit around the steering gear male part.

Did you have to lift the Tahoe?

thanks

We need a video on how to center the gearboxes, all gearboxes don’t come centered.

How do u know the gear box is in the right position to make full turns left and right? Is ot a guess ? Thanks

Does anyone know how many hours a shop will bill for this job? I have the parts but I have a shoulder injury and can’t get under my suburban to do it so may take it to a shop. Thanks for any info!

Make sure to turn steering wheel side to side to bleed the power steering system

You skipped how to press the pitman arm onto the new steering box

Thanks. Car pros for. Your. Video. Give me a. Better way. To. Worck. On. My. Silverado 2006. Changing power stealing gearbox thanks ( flyboytr)

Size of sockets and wrenches

is this the similar process to the 1997 style tahoes?

Where can I buy the piece in between the gear box and Intermediate shaft

Never let Grismer Automotive worm on a vehicle,tried to charge me 719.00..!!!! Got it done for 300.00 out the door.

hey what Size is the nut? info lite videos are a bane on yt. Also loosen the three bolts holding the steering box to the frame or you will go crazy trying to get access to that nut on the 4x4 model.

I would have liked t see all the bolts removed and put back in with the hang up

Is removing the clutch fan necessary to do this job? It shouldn’t be right? Looks like their is still plenty of room.

Will some one answer my question plz Will the truck whine a lil after putting on a rebuilt steering box???

The name of toll to remove the pitman arm please

I’m having problems turning to the right only, please help what do i need to do?

What size is that pitman arm nut?

So it is the same way on a 2000 Chevy suburban? The title says yes but in the video it says 2002 Tahoe.

Fairly useful video. However, tool sizes would be great. Plus, you missed a step in that repair video. You forgot about bleeding. The steering gear box and the hydrobooster.

hey Guys I have a 2005 tahoe z71 model I recently changed the steering g gear box and now I have a warning light "Service Stability System" the place I had the job done is a ripoff place that didn't try to make it right by me by even checking it out. I took it to another guy and he said the light came on cause they started the car in the air on the scicorr lift. does anyone know what might be the issue and how can I fix it. I really don't want to go to the dealer. they are gonna charge me an arm and a leg lol. thanks for your help!

How will u know if this needs to be replaced??

so is this procces the same for a 1999 tahoe?

Does the truck need to be on jack stands?

Will this affect the alignment?

I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd and I still can’t find the steering gear box

Why remove the pitman arm?

What is the part number for the steering box?

Remember kids always flush old fluid out or it will just damage the new box!!

Pitman arm puller part num? Please

Why would one replace it...what are symptomsbof bad box?

Be nice if you said what size sockets you used

The process for an '03 GMC Yukon can't me much different, if it's different at all, right?

Honestly is pretty lame that you guys never say the tool size. It only takes a second, and now would’ve saved me 3 trips to oriellys

You forgot to mention you removed the power steering pump first. This is misleading.

this guys voice.....

This 's so Fake. pitman arm with your fingers oh forgot and oily gloves. Cmon pitman arm torque is around 190ft/lb

God I can't listen to that voice
