Ugh working on the front end. I'm stuck on this damn pitman arm. Idler arm and bracket went in easy enough but I think the pitman arm bent my puller.....

Hit the pitman arm with a dead blow hammer with puller snug. It should slowly loosen up, just keep tightening the puller as it moves. Don't try to just crank the puller or it will bend or break.

Took a torch and a large hammer to get mine off. Puller kept bending. I wouldn’t recommend it. I did it like that because I was replacing the steering gear and the pitman arm so I didn’t care I just need the pitman arm off of the gear box so I could send it back for core charge.

Went to the dealership for an alignment. Found out I need a vehicle inspection as well.

They failed my truck for the HIDs, various LEDs, my foglights dont work, and the rear bumpstops for not being installed.

I argued the bump stops because per VA state inspection manual only suspension bushings or components that attach to the axle that causes it to move out of alignment can result in an auto failure. I called my trusty local shop and they said put factory halogens in and remove the fog lenses and they will slap a sticker on her.... going to them on Monday.

Only reason I didn't go the the shop first was because I didn't think they could do an alignment with 22" wheels. Most places around me only do up to 20s

FFS the dealer wanted to fail me for LEDs in the reverse and tag lights.

Damn that sucks, I can see them failing for the HID’s & fogs, but LED reverse lights & tag lights that’s just stupid (I get that it’s not OEM) if the LED’s in the tag lights are pure white it makes it so much easier to read not like your hindering the cops from reading your plate & the factory reverse lights absolutely blow you can’t see anything your making the truck safer imo, just swap the bulbs out and go through then swap them out

Man that sure makes me glad we don’t have inspections here, that would be bad for me.

Yea they were definitely nitpicking.

Yup I'm not to happy. I have this. Nice looking truck that runs and handles great but with a rejection sticker because of my HIDs and LEDs
