I had my local shop do it when they changed my oil back in December. It's always those "easy" jobs that turn into a nightmare and I'm sure I'd have had the same (bad) luck as Robert.My truck needs the slip joint lubed badly.

Glad I did mine before I saw Robert's problem. I'd be in the same chickenWell, I am now officially chicken to tackle this project. I see problems written all over it.
