Amist my confusion, Thomas texted me and told him the situation. He said the same thing. So I crawled under the front of the truck and... the CPS wasn't even plugged in


Another case of shoddy mechanicing lol. At least it was an easy fix

I have a feeling that is for dual mass clutch setup.

I've shot them. It's no fun afterwards disposing of them. We've got too many critters around here for poison.

I use a have-a-heart trap. Once it's in there sneak up on it with a blanket and cover it up. Drop it in the the lake. This solves the stank problem 90% of the time.

Sounds like you're relocating and hoping for the best when you open the cage .

Where should I get these parts? O'Reilly's, NAPA, or Ford?
Is this the correct part number for the center link? F4TZ-3304-A
CENTER LINK for 1996 Ford F-250|F4TZ-3304-A

That's it. MOOG # DS1419 and F4TZ-3304-A interchange... That would be your "right inner" tie rod..

For solid flywheel and stock clutch, order this LuK kit from Rockauto.

More Information for LUK 07226

Well, probably getting more than I'm worth, but a little less than I was making! LOL! I was assured that I will probably move up quickly though. I will be working in a shop in the fork lift division. I could be a field service tech like what Aaron does, but I would rather be in the shop. I have gotten used to shop work over the years, and don't really care to be out on the road. I think they are going to be training me to be the one to take over the shop. That's what I'm hoping for anyway. The benefits are way better than my old job, and the money will come soon enough. The only bad part will be traveling back and forth on the weekends until my wife can move down with me, and that won't be until either her parents pass away, or we can talk them into moving down there. All of their family is down there anyway, so that may be a possibility........maybe. They are both in their 80s and just like my Dad, and most other elderly people, they don't want to leave their home. So, we will deal with it however we have to for as long as we have to. In the meantime, I am going to be looking for some land down there and be working on a shop, and then a house. That will give me something to do in the evenings after work. Until I get back on my feet and can buy some land, I will be staying in my camper at my brother in law's. Fun fun fun!!! LOL!

That sucks Bill. Hopefully it all works out in the end. Living away from your family sucks.
