I’ve done ball joints on these trucks before. Yeah it was a bit of work but the only real hard part was getting the new lowers pressed in. It looks like this truck has bolt in replacements. Thanks, it looks like the OP was trying to source complete control arms. I only need ball joints.

Both

That's fair. I've dealt with this shop for more than thirty years and they’ve always been good about diagnosing and me doing the work. I've always been happy with their alignments.

My tire shop just told me that my ball joints are done. I just checked Rock Auto for parts, and it looks like there are several options: bolt-in or press-in and different sizes. The control arms are stock, as far as I know. Does anyone know what I need? I prefer to get the parts before taking...

The thing that puzzles me about the air is that I never have an issue after the first couple of minutes. I can drive for hours with no issue but then I stop the truck and turn it off for even a few minutes and the stalling reoccurs.

Soooo… the problem is not solved at all. Did it to me four times today. I fire the truck up without any problem then about thirty seconds later it dies. Then I have to really crank it and pump the accelerator to get it started. So one time when it happened today I had my son in law watch the...

Update! I haven't had any random stalling since I posted. However, I did put in a clear fuel line and haven't seen any air. The big thing I did while looking for a sale on a fuel pressure gauge was buy and install the Zombie Solutions (Bruce) battery cable set. In the process, I discovered one...

I'm just revisiting the fuel gauge. I'm looking at an auto meter, but should I get a 15psi or a 30psi? I don't know what the maximum pressure could be.

Honestly for that price I ‘should’ be able to find something permanent for not much more. In theory😀

Thanks but no Harbour Freight in Canada.

Thanks. I'm still looking for a fuel pressure gauge that won't break the bank.

I put in a clear fuel line where and as suggested. I haven't had any stalling issues since I posted, but today, I hit the acceleration hard, and the truck stumbled a bit. When I stopped, I checked the fuel line, and sure enough, there was a big air bubble in it. So it appears that air is getting...

I was thinking that too

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I'll check all the grounds again the next chance I get. If anyone has any suggestions, I may also consider doing a battery cable upgrade. Then, I’ll pick up a fuel pressure testing kit and see if there are fuel issues. Then, if nothing else helps, I’ll look at the...

Tried wiggling the harness on both ends but it didn't affect the truck running.

My PMD is bumper mounted. Its so intermittent that I figured it couldn't be that. I will throw in my spare and see.

My wife is going to love that I'm buying more tools. :) I have a reader that replicates the paper clip, and I count flashes. I have never heard of the GMTDScan, but it looks like a brilliant option.

Thanks for the response. I can answer a few questions, but I'll get onto the clear hose and fuel pressure kit later. It does not stumble, it just stops. No smoke from the tail pipe. It does not feel like any drag on the engine. The transmission was rebuilt about a month ago, but I can't rule...

New to this forum and relatively new to the 6.5 although I've had a GMT400 for at least 20years. My truck is a 1995 Silverado K3500 dually. A previous owner made some mods that have been disastrous. He put electric fans on the tranny and oil cooler then took off the fan clutch and replaced it...
