I bled that line the first time but I believe you don't have to do it that way. Reloader may recall this better, but I believe you can move the line. That's what he did when he replaced the UCA on Jerry's truck.

Any pics? I'd be curious to see. Did you do the lower bushings and ball joint? I'm trying to psych myself up cause I gotta do this real soon. I have a nasty shimmy driving down the highway. Seems to be the worst between 60-65...


I haven't forgot about ya man... Just started a new job at the VAMC and hours have been crazy but I'll get to them on the 18th or 19th. I'll finally have some time off.. lol

I bled all my lines just to get new synthatic brake fluid in the system. When I diconnected the lines the fluid was as green...

No worries. The tech's at the local dealership said my ball joints and bushings were still ok so I hope that buys me a little time... I did the same thing with the brake fluid over the summer when I was doing all the fluids. It's amazing how nasty that stuff gets.

Tell me about it... I just changed the fluid in the transfer case, and front/rear diff also. I dont know about everybody else but all I use is synthetic oil.... BRAKE FLUID, GEAR OIL, ENGINE OIL, AND TRANSMISSION IS A GIVEN

Same here..

When I find the time mine will be running on Amsoil..

Anybody else notice the Amsoil site doesn't have a listing for Hummers ??

I'm using a synthetic blend right now for engine oil. Everything else has been changed to full synthetic. I'm only using that motor oil for now cause I got 5 free oil changes when I bought the truck in spring. 2 more to use then I'll run full synthetic when I start my own oil changes.
