DISASTER AVERTED! Sheared Centerlink Replacement on my Duramax Diesel Truck

I am so glad I checked my truck over before hitting the road!
Today we are tearing into my 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with a 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel and a 5 Speed Allison Transmission.
I discovered that the center link on my CST lift kit had sheared in half, so were ripping it out and replacing it with a fresh assembly. Were also fine tuning some other steering components while were in there.

Oof, can't live without that air hammer! Great work Alec, I admire your courage on taking this job! My wife drives an SUV, but I'm not touching that. Too big (and complicated) for me :)

[@Frankysbeemer]

Sheesh good thing you caught it in time, good work man 🤘

I'm working on guitars and making youtube videos as I learn that skill, but I also have been a pressure washer contractor, dishwasher repair person, I had to update the wiring on the dw so that's the electrical hat, I'm building a deck, etc etc. Definitely prefer doing it myself but sometimes things can be intimidating. Oh my computer crashed this week so I had to wipe and reinstall everything, damn windows updates! So much cheaper to learn and fix, and sometimes break trying to fix...but it all is living. live and learn.

You made the repair look easy as usual. I really like the truck it's a bad rig.

You should definitely work on other makes and model especially like mercedes and audi in the future. Don’t be afraid to tackle them most vehicle will be similar and you’ll get more viewers and subscribers that’s for sure.

How are you so country & live in Cally? 😂😂 I like it. 😂😂 those air hammers are amazing. I was scared to use mine.

[@bogusienombre355]

I insist on flatbed tow trucks only. Now we all will, now that we know better. Also I never park my car on grass. Tow truck number 1. It rained.

[@mr_DIY]

Why not just weld it back?

[@visvaldasbausa2575]

[@bogusienombre355]
