Very important I think you should touch on sir. Especially 99 up gm trucks, any time a electrical plug is unplugged or plugged in(abs) sensors, it's a good practice to unhook the battery, I realize there is probably not going to be a problem with this but man it's not worth a maybe, these are a totally different beast than we as diy guys are used to. And don't forget there is a small relearn for the ecm every time the battery is unhooked, I found it in a Haynes manual. It definitely makes a difference. Hope this helps😊

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have to say that your explanations, editing, and speed video parts were great for getting to the point and showing key elements without a bunch of wasted BS video time! I am just getting ready to order a front-end rebuild kit from Detroit Axle, so this was perfect! Hubs were already recently replaced with Napa severe duty, so they're good. My 07 Duramax only has 120,000 on it, but my pitman and idler arms are toast, and the boots on the upper and lower ball joints are deteriorated... so I was gonna go ahead and get the kit with pitman, 2 piece idler, inner/outer tie rods, loaded upper arms, and lower ball joints. Also doing Bilstein shocks, and new drilled/slotted rotors and carbon pads at the same time. My truck sees as many miles towing a 17,000lb 5th wheel as it does empty! I have just a couple questions/ comments... I was originally thinking I'd completely disassemble and rebuild one side and then the other, vs. removing the whole drag link as an assembly and rebuilding it loose on the bench. Is it too hard to get the inner toe rods apart from the center link if it's still in the truck? I was wondering if that's why you removed it all together? Also, wouldn't it be easier to just put a floor jack under the end of the lower control arm and lift "slightly" to remove the shocks, vs. turning the torsion keys loose and having to try to "reset" the ride height of the truck? Just wondering if I was missing something! Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask.... do you know if there's any way to determine if the truck has a 3 groove vs. a 4 groove pitman arm, without disassembling it first just to verify? Great video, and I'll be saving this to refer back to once I have all my parts! 👍

Thank you so much for your feedback, and taking the time to post such a well articulated comment. This one wins comment of all time! In retrospect, I would’ve removed the tie rods with the center link still in the truck. It was a PAIN to do it out of the truck. Also, yes, the floor jack lifting the lower control arm would’ve been easier. Sometimes my efficiency is not the best, lol! As for the pitman arm, I took a chance that the kit online would have the right one for the application. Probably not the best move, but they got it right. I genuinely appreciate your comment and insight. I wish you the best on repairing your 2007. These trucks are totally worth the maintenance!

Awesome job, I've done plenty of these and you my friend did it to perfection with great narrative skills. Regarding upper control arms, a quick tip is to spray paint the cams prior to removal, then on reinstall you just line up the cams where the paint marks are, that gets you close. Thanks for your time and effort.

The truck gets a lot of 4x4 action and a lot of off road action as well, in some extreme weather conditions. Otherwise the dually gets used for the farm. It hit 200k miles, and it was letting me know, "Hey! I need some extra TLC!" lol FYI, Kanati Trail Hog tires rock for the winter. I haven't had to chain up in some 3 years!

Hey brother, great tutorial! To the point step-by-step, clear camera angles and i feel the 90% "how-to-do" commentary and 10% banter/chemistry with wifey struck a good balance. Quick question. 01 Silverado 2500hd 4x4 and just recieved that same detroit axle kit and one thing that drew my attention was how not so heavy duty the upper control arms at least appear to me by comparison to whats on the truck just like the one you replaced in the video. So i was curious if its just a looks can be decieving thing or if it is just a lighter duty swap?

Thanks so much for the feedback on the video! It was a lot of sweat making it, but worth it:) I too noticed the lighter upper control arms. I haven’t had any issues with them so far, but I did notice the non-greasable ball joints squeak on one side within a couple of months. If I had it to do all over again, I would have looked for uppers that have the zerk fittings. That’s my thoughts so far, hope that helps!

Ok man how well did this kit end up ?? I see reviews saying parts last two weeks to one year then some great price and worked well ?? I’ve used tie rods that’s it before but nothing else so I’m worried about quality but don’t wanna spend tons of money on other parts

It’s a mixed basket. I had to replace an upper control arm within a year. Definitely spend the money for the greasable ball joints (upper). Other than that, it’s a mostly good kit!

I’ve only had to replace on upper control arm since..and that’s because it started squeaking due to no greasable zerk fitting.

So what is the good, bad, and ugly on the Detroit Axle parts after 1 year of service. I am about to do the same job on my 2002 2500 and I am currently contemplating Detroit or Moog....
@GrubNGas
@GrubNGas 6 ай бұрын
Well, the good is, all my parts have held up great…the one outlier is that the non-greasable upper control arms start to squeak about 6 months in. My advice is to definitely get uppers that have zerk fittings. Other than that, it’s been a great kit. The Moog is better quality, but the Detroit has held up nicely for me…minus the squeaks.

Definitely check the part number for the kit, but most parts should be the same. You can plug in the 2WD parameter in the Amazon parts search.
