fo sho. there's enough info out there on how to kill people and get away with it, lol. although i think after last night, we would all be prime suspects.

the cops basically told me they had better things to do then come out for my bullsh*t neighbor's noise complaint, haha. they weren't even there to cause any trouble. we were left alone after that.

good luck man, keep us posted...

I'll let you know Jason, What did you find to be the big pain on your setup? I am wondering just how much load/torque it will take to pull out?

glad the cutout method is not as bad as I hear. My plan if I cut is to cutout the inner bushing and sawzall the outer bushing to make a relief cut and drive out with a punch. Is that your basic method?

You are welcome, You helped break my motor in hehe. I'll be there, as long as I don't have military obligations. But, I had a great time and it was nice meeting you.

It's normally a pain to get the new bushing in as it fits very tight but Jake and I have since found a solution to that

Hey Jason, Finally noticed your write up with the puller. Looks like I would have the same issues with mine.

I think your right and cutting will be easier, thanks for the input.

Scott I have that middle piece already cut out - you might have to shave some of the rubber off - in case you mess up yours while taking it out.. FYI..

Are you guys doing that shiet today?

I had to fix a few things on the titan..there was some popping and some metal on metal contact.. thats all gone now - truck runs like a dream..
