front end work

Well seems the time has come for ball joints , is there a recommended brand, I was looking at the Moog problem solvers, should I buy the eccentrics also?

Also guess I need to do the axle u joints while I am in there any recommended ones ?

Sorry I don't have any suggestions, I'm 2WD and haven't touched front end yet! Pardon the deviation, I was just reading your signature and wondering if you thought the CFM+Plenum was worth the purchase? Thanks.

Sounds about right. Final question about your sig : Did you see better fuel economy with your RV275 injectors? How was the power increase?

Personally I would stay away from Moog on a 2000 or newer truck. They worked great on the older trucks, but on these trucks there have been many complaints of their joints being too tight and providing poor steering returnability when coming out of a corner. A search here will give you lots of reading. Also, I think their "problem solver" line is an offset joint that compensates for faulty alignment angles and will allow for a means to adjust camber or caster. The problem is that it provides no default position, and WILL give you a change in caster or camber angles whether you need it or not.
