do these heaters get hot enough to damage the oil if they are left on for a couple of days im assuming the heating element is in contact with the oil but maybe not. thanks bill .

you are correct. i learned 2 things from this thread. 1 dont believe everything the tire/alignment shop tells me. 2 open the d@^ shop manual! i believe the toe in is the only adjustment that can be made on that truck. no - caster can be adjusted with the adjuster cams on the lower link arms. camber is fixed but offset sleeves for the i believe - been a while upper ball joints are available if needed. my vote goes for a worn joint on the track bar as well.... very common wear point on these trucks. .

back to the dealer and loose and arm and leg. a 16mm socket should tighten them right back up... .
