Today I got all the tie rods installed, the steering damper, and the front diff filled. I also disassembled and cleaned the hub and I am ready to put the new bearings and seal in it and install it tomorrow. Then tomorrow afternoon, I'm off to get it aligned.

Tires on, ready to go get an alignment. FINALLY!!!!!

Well, not quite.. It wouldn't start. I took the battery and had it tested, it was fine. I then looked closely at the negative terminal and it was really corroded, so I took a wire brush and cleaned it thoroughly. It started right up, but now my radiator is leaking a lot, so I guess that's next. I also took it for a quick test drive, and think I will use a tape measure and get the toe a little closer. SIGH

I hate when that happens! :laugh:
Save the alingment money, take some time and get the front 1/16 to 1/8th in from rear of tire. Drive truck forward on concrete and park. Two guys, one on each side of truck, mark spots on center of tire rear/front using center line of tread and use a tape measure. Toe in is the only adjustment on these front ends and trucks.

alignment is free, my son will do it at the dealership for me, but I will still try to get it close before I drive it to town.
