    Vertical play on both front wheels

    Having barely survived a recent wheel bearing evolution, I can attest to the fact that it can be a very tough job. Also, no fun.

    FYI Window Washer Fluid

    I only run the purple -30F stuff. Whatever brand Menard's sells. Works good. Never had a problem.

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    The Lisle tool saved my bacon. They are cheaper elsewhere.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Replaced front brakes and bearings. Yes, it's a job.

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    My vocabulary got a workout, that's for sure. $170 was a lot to spend for this tool, but at that point, it was well worth it. I must've had it loosened up some because it came out so easy with the tool. The corrosion didn't look that bad to my eyes. Oh well. It's done.

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    After a full day yesterday and this AM, I gave up. That bearing wasn't coming out. I broke down and went to the local parts store. $170 later, I had a Lisle 40100 hub puller tool in hand. Got home and 15 minutes later, the &(&*%*^*& passenger side hub was out. Heatin', beatin', power...

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    I am thinking I will just drop the knuckle today, provided I get the driver's side re-assembled. :) I had the tie rod end and the upper ball joint off yesterday, so removing the lower ball joint would've been I all I needed to do.

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    I was a bit leery of the PS method. But it did pop out relatively easy I think. The wood braces against the truck frame creaked and cracked and POP, the bearing came loose. I had to walk it out using the bearing shocker doodad and a bottle jack though. I put in an SKF bearing from...

    That's not going to stress out the PS system? They're pricey and hard to get to boot.

    Front Wheel Bearing Removal

    My truck is nearing 100k. I am not experiencing any bearing related issues, noise etc, but since I'm in there doing the front brakes, I might as well tackle the bearings. So, not surprisingly, the bearing isn't budging. I bought one of those 'bearing shocker" things and beat the...

    8HP trans temp 240

    I would also add this thermostat kit as well. The transmission takes forever to warm up with just the bypass installed. Thermostat Kit

    8HP trans temp 240

    I don't have first hand experience but I've read that the heating unit on the transmission can stick and not allow fluid to flow into the transmission cooler.

    Can bus issue

    How old is your battery? Are the connections on the battery clean and tight? Fuses in the TIPM in these trucks like to back out. It's probably worth your while to ensure each fuse is fully seated. And check your ground connections. They have to be nice and clean.
