Default IFS - skinny pedal - SNAP

Had a little fun yesterday with the truck in the mud . . . Went to Zach's farm to pull out his truck whenever he would get stuck. Then it was too hard to stay out of it.

Killed the air dam . . . then a tie rod. Didn't take much to take it out.

Broke the tie rod at the end of the day, when the rain came in. Didn't have any tools, but I luckily had a 3" pipe wrench. Used the receiver hitch as a pry bar.

yeah it was fun . . . but the tires have 30K + on them, and they're ready to be replaced. Still had a blast. I haven't done that in years.

Looks like fun! Next time you get stuck just rock the wheel back and forth.

I wish we had spots to go and play like that.

Cool!

GM tie rods suck and are weak as hell on the 2500's, Ive broke 2 sets and bent a centerlink

Get some Tierod sleeves and cognito braces, they help but if the bars are cranked you'll always have tierod issues.

Your Truck sounds great!
