Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
NH temps have been in the mid 60's, so I got motivated to work on the truck today.
I replaced my steering gear last summer, but the steering was getting sloppy again by fall. I then garaged it for the winter.
Today I hooked up a rope to the steering wheel so I could move it back and forth while underneath. I found that all 4 bolts on the steering gear were loose and it was moving up and down when I turned the wheel. 1 bolt had backed out about 1/2 and inch.
I replaced all 4 bolts and lock washers and torqued them to spec. I will keep a closer I on it when driving season returns in April.
I also replaced the center Yankee 77 marker light with a better one I picked up last fall.
