I'm Awesome
Well, I ended up tearing off the driver side header. Not terribly difficult, but now my knees are on fire from kneeling on the front bumper all morning.
After the header was off, I grabbed the oil filter with both hands and STILL couldn't budge the damn thing. However, with the header off, I was able to wiggle a pipe wrench in there and that finally got the filter to come loose.
I still, however, have ordered that Lisle 63250 Filter Wrench, just because lol.
Next is to dial in the timing (it shouldn't be off by much!) and to do something about the PS pump.
Lastly, I know that lower control arms are NOT available for these trucks. I've read many, many posts with confusing and/or conflicting information about what will and what will not fit these trucks.
Mine are in OK shape, but they are really worn where the sway bar links connect.
What are my options?
