Replaced the steering stabilizer this morning. Easy as could be except for learning the hard way to use a puller to get tapered stud out of the tie rod. What a difference! Should have changed it out a while ago.
On another not... I ordered a Skyjacker High Capacity Transmission Oil Pan. Ordered it yesterday should be here today according to u.p.s. tracking info. Great thing about this pan is that it has a drain plug and holds a few extra quarts of fluid. No more slipping up steep hills. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I am going to order that pan on friday (payday) and I can't wait to see if it corrects the slippage on steep inclines. As for the stabilizer you got off easy I had to heat mine up and use a miny sledge to get it off.

Did you try a pitman arm puller? A couple of turns with the ratchet and it literally popped right off. Tossed the puller through the air and it almost took out a few of my front teeth. Quick thinking (and the fact that I have a 100" chest and know many things about the martial arts, lol) got me out of the way and I avoided injury. But, it worked like a charm. I tried heating it and beat it with the sledge a few times but it was no go. Puller worked perfect.

No go with a puller.

2 hammers work wonders one as an anvil the other to whack the snot out of the arm. that ot one hammer and a good air hammer. Same goes for pitman arms those like some heat from a cutting torch and a couple of good whacks and its done

After whacking it with a hammer a few times and not having it move I found this article. http://www.4x4xplor.com/U-TURN.html (http://www.4x4xplor.com/U-TURN.html)
Also, my trans pan came in today and it kicks @$$. Going to see about installing it tomorrow.

Oops, it's this write-up that I used for the stabilizer, not the one above. http://www.4x4xplor.com/steeringstabilizer.html (http://www.4x4xplor.com/steeringstabilizer.html)

Did the pan you ordered from Quadratec come with a "lube locker" gasket or just a standard rubber one? I have seen them that advertise the lube locker gasket but Quadratec doesn't.

It's not a lube locker gasket. Although it's not a squishy rubber gasket either. I'm just going to use rtv.
