Just went to get new tires on my 01 c/c 4x4 and they said i need a new pitman arm and a inner tierod on drivers side. Just wanted to know what the life of these items where and how do you know that they are worn. I have 75k on the truck. thanks dave

I just ordered a tie rod form these people, and I ordered the glass part of a side mirror earlier. I've had nothin gbut good luck with them. They will cross check your order with your VIN before they ship, and send you an e-mail if it isn't the right part.

Thank's anyway noreaster but there already on. What confuses me is back when i had my 89 it was the idlerarm that was wearing out not the pitman arm. He told me my idlerarm was fine can any body fill me in on this. thank's dave

Boy what a differance a new idlerarm, pitmanarm and inner tierod end makes. You really don't notice it because it happens over a long period of time but what a differance it feels like a new truck i guess i'll keep her another 75k. dave

I have 50k on my 03 and i need a new pitman and idle arm. What kind should I get? I have moog and the cognito supporter kit. The cognito kit was a rip off cause I paid over 200 for it and its 2 little peices. Were do I find the fabtech parts cause I am interested in them.
