Okay I looked at the picture on the laptop and you're right. Have both bushings replaced or if you have a bench vise you can do it yourself with short pieces of the right size pipe as drivers. And get a three axle alignment every 100k or annual. I run mainly in the southeas so we run the same torn up roads. It will extend your tire life and save you fuel.

I've read about the problems that keep popping up with your truck and I stand by the rest of my post. You need to get ahead of the crap that keeps happening. The grease monkeys that do the pm service on the truck don't have the knowledge or interest to tell you what needs attention.

My apologies if I came on too strong but I'm really fed up with the poor quality of the fools who pass themselves off as experts in the repair and maintenance of our trucks.

Oh I hear ya they didn't point that out. They let me use the bay to look under my truck. What a great view that was lol. I'm gonna do all new bushings gonna order a after market one.

 

They make aftermarket poly bushings and look at the cab bushings on the firewall where the cab pivots on the frame as well. Easy to replace and no difference in the ride plus they've supposed to last way longer than rubber. I'm gradually replacing all the bushings on my Prostar with poly.

Yeah I wanna do arto poly ones.

 

Have you tried deleting your history and cache? It helps sometimes. My wife hasn't had those issues on the apple after updates, and 3 others I keep in touch with regularly seem to not have those,. I have experienced a jumble of loads sorted out of order by distance from origin. Clicking to filter at top of mileage column corrects that. How big are you zooming? I don't have to zoom very much, and I am old as dirt.

 

I actually don't think Pete encounters many more maintenance issues than most. He just posts every nut and bolt he changes. He tackles problems himself that others don't do. He is gaining experience. It's quicker and easier to change the entire torque bar. You can get just the bushings , but time is money

 

That's the same way I see Pete. He doesn't have years of experience working on trucks. He post his trials and tribulations and we watch him learn things that we learned years ago. I agree with @mickeymouseclub just change the entire bar, much easier and faster.

It's been fun watching Pete, he's smart enough to learn.

 

Yup pete is learning just like the test of us did 20 years ago. Through blood sweat and tears.

 

and breaking a few things along the way. (wish I had the money from the things I broke thru the years)

 

Pete is my hero. I've learned a ton from the questions he has asked over the last few years. I hope and pray that he keeps asking the questions I'm too chicken to because some turkey might come along and ridicule me like this.

I also hope Pete wins the lotto. He is due for some good luck. We all know the luck Pete tends to trip over.
