raw,

I replaced all the tie rods on my '96 K2500 Sub a couple of years ago, along with the pitman arm and the idler arm. I bought everything from Rockauto.com. I didn't have any diagrams when I replaced these parts, everything was straight forward.

I do have a copy of the SI program, but it only goes back to 1998 or 1999. When I had questions, I would look up the 1999 Sub for comparision. But in for doing the front end work, I didn't need the program.

Yep, I did mine a year and a half ago. Went to RockAuto, put in my year and model, and got all the parts. I found it easier to replace the adjusting sleeves ($12 ea) than screw around with the rusty messes that they had become. Went with all Moog parts.

Oh, and two more things.

The hardest part I had with the whole job was getting the pitman arm off. Other than that it was just a matter of removing the old and replacing with the new.

And a short time later one of the stabilizer end bar links cracked. While I was in there, I should have replaced those as well - only another $36 for the Moog part.

Just an update. Have the truck in for the annual state inspection and got a call from them - one of the inner tie rod ends was bad and needed to be replaced. Roughly 35K miles on it since I replaced it the first time. Seems like it should have had a longer life than that...

History was that I bought the truck at just under 132K and the first thing I had to do was replace pretty much the whole front end - tie rod ends, pitman arm, idler arm, etc. I do have a set of 285/75-R16 tires on it and take it out for some trail riding, but I'd have expected at least 60K to 80K out of components.
