And on a bummer note we have decided that either Friday or Saturday is Chewy's last day. He is just getting so weak in the back hips it's just not right to make him suffer any more. He is barely eating anymore either.
Sorry to hear that Jay. That is gonna be an extremely tough day but no use making him suffer anymore.

That's no good Jay. I'm very sorry to hear that. But like you say, it's not good to make him suffer anymore. We aren't far behind you either...

Thanks Jay! Not sure how she's put up with me for so long!
That is no good either Dave. Sable is way too young to be having those troubles.

Good morning Chris! What do you want to know? Other than changing oil I think you have remove the cab to work on anything else! LOL I think if you fix the problems they did have they are a strong running truck.

I think some use a slide hammer to help pull them out also

Thanks guys. I appreciate the thoughts.

You are right Jim. A slide hammer is an amazing tool for that. I just learned about that last year and tried it. Super easy.

Sorry to hear about Chewy. I know there is nothing I can say that would make it any easier but I certainly know what you are going through.

A buddy of mine has an 08 that is giving him issues stumbling a bit at idle. He said that he could see the rail pressure on the H&S tuner drop when it would stumble IIRC but other than that the thing runs good. I told him it was junk and that he should have purchased a 6 liter but he didn't like that answer.
