Cross hatching looks brand new.  Does not look like it was run much lately...I say that because it is a bit rustier inside that I would have guessed.

Have you tried putting some heat to the arm around the shaft and then hitting the puller with an impact?

The one kick in the nuts so far is, the pitman arm won’t come off the steering box.
The pitman arm has to be removed to drop the front diff - I had to pull the steering box.
I broke 2 pitman arm pullers and my big 2 jaw puller doesn’t seem to want to budge it.
I’m thinking a relief cut in the pitman arm might help, here hasn’t done much. It’s moved maybe 1/4”

Picked up the trans yesterday.
Pulled the oil pan and valve covers today. I'm extremely pleased with how everything looks inside, the cylinders still have visible crosshatch.
This engine is an odd ball - it was late enough 05 build that it's still a 24x crank but has the Gen 4 rods in it. I'll take it  :cheers:

So the outer rocker skins have some rust and somehow the floor has a hole in it.
I'll be patching the floor - don't know about the rockers yet.
Found a local guy who'll build my trans for a reasonable price - hopefully in a couple of weeks it'll be back together

Last night my friend Travis and I embarked on a 6 hour round trip to go get this 05 GMC Sierra z71. It's extremely clean, and was owned by another friend but has high miles 234K. It has a blown trans and will need a few things, but overall I felt like I stole this truck.
Should be a good replacement for the regular cab.
