Hi Aussie, Not sure if I read your post right..... The threads on the tie-rod ends have stripped off and the ends have pulled out of the tie-rod? (tie rod is the bar with the female threads and the tie-rod ends are the ball joints that screw into the tie rod) If that is the case the female threads on the tie rod are probably destroyed as well. In older cars sometimes the threads will rust off and strip. Does your truck have a lift-kit? Sometimes if it isnt lifted right you will put extra strain on the steering components. Let us know.
