My Silverado 2500HD is leaking from the input shaft/steering column connection to the steering gear. I can't for the life of me find the seal kit part number that belongs to this truck. Everything after 2006 doesn't seem to have kits and everything after this year went electronic... This still has the hydroboost. Just looking for a seal kit... splines and pitman are still tight. Can anyone help me out?

can try contacting a dealer for a part number

 

try the dealer. If they can't get it; its not serviceable...replace steering box is what they want for a repair. If you have time for the vehicle to be down...see what is in there for a seal. usually you can get pitman shafts and seals. sector shaft seal is not a common leak point.

 

What tools did you use to remove the idler arm. Asking because I'm about to replace the one on my truck.

Thanks

 

Nobody said anything about idler arms.

I just pried it off with a big screwdriver but you may need to use a puller.
