On the 1990-1998 GMC C/K 2500, the Pitman arm and idler arm ball joints wear out, causing excessive play in the steering and a wandering feel on the highway. The heavy front end of the 2500 accelerates wear on these components.
Replace the idler arm (Moog K6187T) and Pitman arm together for even steering geometry. A front-end alignment is required after replacement. Inspect tie rod ends and center link at the same time.

On the 1995-1998 GMC C/K 2500, the rear-wheel anti-lock brake (RWAL) system speed sensor in the rear differential fails or the RWAL module malfunctions. The ABS warning light illuminates and the system defaults to standard braking without anti-lock.
Replace the rear differential-mounted speed sensor (ACDelco 19236364). If the RWAL module itself has failed, aftermarket replacements are available. Some owners disconnect the RWAL system entirely if the module is too expensive.
