Default pitman arm

First of thanks to the guys who helped me on my tps situation. The truck is shifting perfectly.

I have a new problem. I'm trying to find a pitman arm for my truck. It's a 3500 4x4. They are no parts stores around here that can get one. Anyone know where i can get one? Do I have to go to a dealer for it? thanks.

Are you looking for a drop pitman arm for a lifted truck? The reason i ask is usually these dont need to be replaced because there isnt a ball joint in it

Well I think the ball joint on the arm is bad because there is a delayed reaction. When I turn the steering wheel with someone underneath the truck you can see that it hesitates. All the ball joints look good and so do the tie rod ends. It has very loose steering. I don't know what else it could be.

Pay close attention to the track bar too. Thats where my play was when i had to do mine. They have a hoin attatched the the driver side frame and a bushing on the axle end. I bought the Lukes link and bushing from vulcan diesel performance.

Bingo! If all your tie rods are good then your steering box is most likely toasted. The box brace is a great upgrade as well
