Pros & Cons
Pros
This is the only one that worked on my 2001 chevy silverado 2500hd duramax with 250k miles. This is the size you need for gm’s with similar (awful) steering setups circa 2001. Used on a 1996 f150 4x4 steering box pittman arm.
The tool appears to be of the highest quality, heavy, thick, and well constructed. I expect it can endure very difficult jobs. I believe this rigid design goes easy on the pitman arm shaft.
This puller fits in between the pitman arm and sleeve where others don't. The 8150 has a slight bevel in the opening compared to the 8149 which does not. Far superior to the el cheapo's from harbor freight.
Highlights
Quality
This is very sturdy, and the conical design gives it a ton of strength.
Nothing wrong with the tool, well built.
Removed pitman arm under 2 minutes where others have failed!
Broke a pitman puller, took hours and didn’t budge, but then ordered this one and took it off in 2 minutes.
Price
It was worth every penny of the very reasonable price.
After using cheap ass harbor freight puller, i can 100% say that is thing is really, really good and worth the extra 30 bucks.
About twenty dollars cheaper than napa and ordered one day received the next thru amazon.
It is worth every penny plus i was willing to pay more because i knew it was going to work.
Competitiveness
This puller is far superior to the el cheapo's from harbor freight.
I have not tried it on any dodge ram trucks nor newer gm trucks.
By the way, i checked a bit and it looks to me like this may be sold as rebranded (and for far more money) on the tool trucks as well.
And yes…this is the size you need for gm’s with similar (awful) steering setups circa 2001.
