Sweet! Lots of good advice. Very much appreciated. 4WD22R, thanks for the link to the FSM. I'm really not sure why I couldn't find that myself.

Kewlynx, I don't think I'll be needing the PB Blaster since I live in Arizona, but I've got some around just in case. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One more question though: How do I know (besides taking the dealership's word for it) that the ball joints are the problem and not the wheel bearings? I jacked up the truck today to have another look, and I really could not tell where exactly the play in the wheel (top to bottom) was.
