So now that the truck is driveable what is the most logical thing to do? Tear it a apart again of course!
Dang, that ain't good. Frame feels ok behind it so I am cautiously optimistic just a bucket will fix it. DS looks great though.
With the weird floor in my garage I HATE having multiple tires off, my initial plan was to swap the D35 beam first so for at least half the process it would have 3 tires on the ground. DS pivot bracket has to come off to change the bucket so that isn't going to work at all.
So off come the tires:
Hey look, I'm a Duramax!
Steering is off, shocks are off, sway bar is loose and just wedged in the radius arms. Just tap out the caliper pins, pivot bracket bolts and radius arm nuts and I think the thing should fall out.
