Old topic I realize, but I am at the same stage as you were. I'm replacing the inner and outer tie rods, but I'm having some trouble breaking the inner's loose. Anyone have any tips on how to get them loose? I'm also replacing the idler and pitman arm, maybe I could take the whole linkage out and strap it to a vice? Or am I just overthinking the whole thing?

  At peak temperature. They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler. I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission. Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it. It's not the bean counters, it was the government. They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements. To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

  PCM? These don't have a "PCM". Powertrain Control Module. They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Do you mean update the radio?
