changing the cv joints
Is it difficult to change the cv joints? theres alot of noise comin from down there and my mechanic says its from the cv joint. (but he cant work on my truck till late september, because of training) so that why i want to do it. Is there anything special i should be aware of when doing it?

It is super easy, if you have a lift or if you are skinny enough you don't even have to jack the truck up or take a tire off. It is just the 6 bolts that use a 12pt (I think 12mm socket) and the axle nut which I think was a 35mm socket. If you do take your tire off, make sure you brake the axle nut while the tire is on the ground because it will be a lot easier.
Take a look at this video:
I didn't need to remove the sway bar, but I am on a lift so it didn't get in my way.
