Ball joints finally done!!
134k on the truck now and it was definately time for some new ball joints, bought the premium ball joint tool from Harbor Freight and started on em yesterday morning at 6am, finally buttoned em up around 3pm and wow what a difference!! Mines a 4x4 so all 3 ujoints were shot, seemed like I spent more time on them than the ball joints! I gotta say that Harbor Freight tool really took the abuse, coated it with anti sieze before using and there were times I had so much torque from the air drive on it you could play it like a xylaphone!! Thanks for all the right ups you guys did on this in the past, really helped!!

I used the Harbor Freight tool on my 250 and my dad's 250. It's tweaked a little now, but still works. I'll just keep using it until it breaks and go from there. I've used the sleeve kit with my arbor press before too, so it's pretty handy. That wasn't bad time for ball joints and u-joints.
