    General convention would be to refer to the one's at the axle as the lower bushing, the one's at the bar as the upper bushing, and the one's at the body as the bracket bushing.

    Those tapered ones are easy, I'm talking about the upper BAR bushings. These guys: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/283850855390

    The upper sway bar bushings are a BEAR to replace with new ones. Might not be an issue to bolt/unbolt it with the old bushings but new ones are an absolute MONSTER to get the bolts back in.

    That's so strange. I had zero problems rebuilding mine. I was honestly skeptical based on the reports of how difficult it is, etc...... I mean I have plenty of experience with pumps having worked for a compressor manufacturer and I have a full shop with a vice large enough to hold the thing...

    As mentioned - I rebuilt my pump and just operated it and the hand pump while rotating all the knobs to various settings and eventually it started working normally. My pump prior to the rebuild would work for a few cycles and then it would blow off it's internal relief valve and stop pumping -...

    Can confirm. The box makes seemingly simple tasks take on herculean proportions. Basically anything like the hydraulic pump or the LBCD, etc require that you lift the cab, and drop the spare and then pretzel yourself into the spare tire bracket or squat on the rocker cover. It's like owning a...

    I put one of these on each sun visor. They are bright AF, and have both red and white LED's. CHEAP and won't drain the truck batt if you leave it on: https://www.amazon.com/Coast-21019-Dual-Color-Clip-Light/dp/B002YGBJZI Bonus - you can pull one and clip it to your hat if you need a work light.

    Have you talked to the yard to find out how long it can sit there awaiting your arrival? They may be receptive to the argument that you didn't expect the EUC to go through in a day and could you come get it in a few weeks or a month? Enough time to arrange time off, etc. I totally understand -...

    My truck was 2700 miles away. Start a post and ask if someone near the truck can do a cursory inspection - throw in some batteries, etc. We have a pretty good community here. I mean - if you are willing to pay $6k+ to have it transported.... you have seen the price of diesel right? A rig that...

    Contact Justin Whering in the Houston area. He can get anything registered in TX. He has contacts in the DMV. Look for some of his old posts - they always contain his phone number. His user name is "whering". Amazing guy I'm sure he can help. Rick

    Cheaper to drive it with the price of fuel and transport. I'm sure it's up to $5 a mile now if not more (pre-covid and fuel prices it was about $4 a mile). Go PREPARED and drive it home. There's a large network of owners and people that know these trucks that you can rely on. Start a post asking...

    If you have issues with registration - there's always Utah. SF97 is one of their options and I'm sure they can work with either one. www.dirtlegal.com They got me sorted out and I can't say enough good things about their customer service and attention to detail.
