New K2500 owner from Sweden!

Welcome from canada and from a fellow 6.5 Turbo Diesel owner!

Thank you!

Actually in sweden the gmt400's are the most common of the american trucks. But you are right, they are not in overflow

There are firms in town that imports parts.

As a comparison.
Outer tie rod end in sweden would cost the equivalent of 32$, a part that is listed as 9$ on rockpartsauto.com
So it's not difficult, just expensive

But it works fine ordering from eg. rockparts too

Interesting, I didn't realize the GMT400 was exported at all

Thanks everyone!

I thought that the truck felt "nervous" on the road so i lifted the front and realized that all tie rod ends, pitman arm & idler arm were worn. And even the bushings in the upper wishbone.
So i placed an order to rock auto and $300 later i have all the parts to make a fun weekend

I have replaced the broken lightbulbs so now i have pretty decent lights when the dark season is beginning!

Low beam + 50w HID high beam
