"Tie Rod" from Pitman arm to drag link.

[azex]

Need to replace this on my M1008 and was wondering what the real (or commercial) part number is on it, and where I can get one.

I don't even mind mail order, as long as I don't have to make 20 trips to "Vato Zone" because they look at you like you're speaking Swahili when you tell them it's a .mil surp truck.

It's as simple as looking at the -20P tech manual. The part number is the GM part number.

If you own an MV, you need to download and save the TMs, they have almost all the info you will ever need.

Why would you ever tell them that it is a MIL Surplus truck? They are not the Military. The GM part number is the closest to REAL as you will get. All the others are just copies...

You can find all the parts you need if you ask for a 1984 Chevy K30 pickup.

Never tell the "keyboard cops" at O'reilly's, Autozone, Pep Boys, or the like that you're looking for parts for a military truck. They "don't carry parts for military trucks".

My local oreilly, they seem pretty amused by it. They want me to bring it up there after I get it running. I just give them the part numbers, and they get it for me.

The guys at my local O'Reilly and Autozone love my Military trucks, they always ask about them when I pull up to the store.

Oh and these parts are the same part numbers listed at NAPA made by Master Ride Chassis:
Moog ES2027L (front) , ES362S (adj sleeve) , & ES2026R (rear)

Showing it toward rear could someone explain i am replacing mine and want to be sure
Thanks

That link goes to the pitman arm of the steering box. So I guess yes front side. I hope that helps answer your question.
Price: $23.99

• Part Number: ES2026R
• Warranty: Limited Lifetime
• Notes: Tie rod end - rear
  Centerlink consists of sleeve, & 2 tie rod ends (Adjustable type replaces 1 piece design) This one would go to the rear of the drivers side drag link. Does that clear it up?

I understand your confusion, the location of steering tie rod ends is reversed between the TM-20p and the different manufacturer's/suppliers website (moog, autozone, etc.)

According to the TM the longer tie rod end (ES2027L) should be installed at the front and the shorter tie rod end (ES2026R) should be placed at the back. A click on the highlighted part numbers will take you to the manufacturer's website to confirm that they suggest the other way around.

I do not know which one is correct, I can say that I installed according to the manufacturers recommendation and have suffered no ill effect that I know of.

Having the long end at the steering arm is just to avoid any contact with the steering knuckle when turning hard right. I have seen them installed both ways and never seen any contact. Though if you turn the tightening bolts vertically you probably could have contact during off-roading.

Thanks for clearing this up. I have been having an issue with my steering seeming to just stop responding for a second (noticeable most in sweeping turns) and found a loose drag link. The front one. The rear was just replaced a few months ago. Anyway long story short I look up the P/N in the TM and get the part at Napa. Then compare to the old one and on my truck the longer of the two is installed on the rear. So now back to the parts store to get the shorter one. Glad to see it does not matter which way they are installed though.

Just seen this thread after I picked the part up. Went by the 20 manual, listed 362297 which crossed over to Moog ES2027L for the Rear tie rod to steering arm. So its wrong and I actually need a ES2026R?

Mabye not. The drag link can be installed backwards with no issues. So your rear one, may or may not be the one you need. The L at the end of the part number is for left hand thread. The R is for right hand thread. So look at the threads on the one you need. I replace both when one goes bad myself. Once one goes bad the other usally ins't far behind.
