what would it cost to add a little anti seize to some of the parts on these trucks from the factory......I have been fighting with a pitman arm all day and i know i am getting close to breaking something sorry to rant the wife doesn't want to hear it any more and i know some of you will understand

 

feel your pain, had the same issue when I installed my lift. Ended up breaking a pitman arm puller then used a die grinder to notch the bottom of the steering box to allow a bigger gear puller to fit. It finally got it off.
good luck,Kurt
