mrcaddy, Otto's suggest source seems to be "out-of-stock" with most of the possible tie rod ends, both original style rebuildable and after market replacement style. Before we get too much more in the dirt on what parts are available, maybe let us know what you currently have on your truck? If you can attach a picture or two, we can better offer some sources for replacement parts. There are a lot of our usual vendors as well as some ebay sellers with NOS/NORS parts out there, but we need to know for sure what you have to lead you towards the best options or suggestions. wink

Oh yeah, I would recommend Jim Carter parts any time! I have used them quite a bit and can say I have never been unhappy with anything I have purchased from him. Also worth noting is his ME180TR Repair kit costs about 1/5th of Otto's suggest source for virtually the same kit. thumbs_up

PS - Since this thread topic is actually about steering it best fits in the Driveline forum, so it's been moved there for further conversation and help.
