94 1500 5.2 auto. 310,000. My brother got it at about 285k and it was clapped out to say the least. The steering was scary so we threw a pitman arm on it to make it driveable since it was just a trash truck at the time. Fast forward a couple of years and he buys a new 14 2500 4x4 cummins crew cab. I bought the old truck from him for $500 with big ideas to make it a hot rod one day. Only thing mechanically I can verify is the engine has been replaced with a junkyard unit that was once a reman. No clue on mileage. My repairs are as follows...
Complete front end
-upper and lower control arms
-inner and outer tie rods + sleeves
-idler arm
-another pitman arm
-3 gearboxes until I found a tight one
-steering stabilizer
-shocks
Rock Solid steering shaft/column bushing
Power steering pump and all hoses
a/c compressor
Alternator
Belt tensioner
Idler pulley
Water pump
Belt(obviously)
New tires-likely it's first new set in at least a decade lol
front pads/rotors
wheel bearings
rear shoes w/ gm 1 ton wheel cylinders
Reman 46RH
Rebuilt rear w/ 4.10 gears
