also,if you are dragging certain powerstroke heads such as the above pictured...make sure your aluminum tail gate protector is fastened...cause when the head gets moving and the gate protector stops the head with your middle finger inbetween...you almost loose the end of your finger...just saying...
also on a side note..Clifford in 4lo pulling an old antenna base out of the ground =broken chain. I won in the end though...
