Welcome! Planning on just getting it back to original condition or are you going to build/modify? Always thought getting a dmax with some mostly cosmetic damage would be a great way to build a truck the way you want on the cheap.

Lol if you're gonna put so much money into it and plan on keeping it. I would definitely while you're at it recommend putting a good paint or something under the truck and the frame

ok so i need to replace my Pitman arm and Idler arm on my 2011 Duramax, can anyone tell me how i do that on these new models? i did some research and couldnt find anything, looks like i have to remove whole steering box, and to remove that box i have to remove my sway bar, a lot of work, is there any easier way to do it?

Thank you, that was a tough job replacing some spindles and control arms, almost died but replaced it all myself with only one jack, now my steering has a lot of play, looking to replace whole steering box with tie rods, wanna make sure its all good,pain in the A** with all that heavy duty stuff but this is what i got it to so far...
