700srx you nailed it, I noticed what you stated about taking off also, just tonight, pulling out of parking lot onto street. Could be lots of places where there is slack, will work on that when I have it up on a rack soon.

Thanks for your interest in helping with my truck if we were closer together. I certainly wasn't expecting that, and it is a very nice thought, thank you.
I haven't had a chance to climb under there to check anything out yet. I don't need to use the truck every day and it still drives fine overall, so I'll add it to the to-do list along with a dozen other EX quirks to look in to that seem to be common after reading thru the FTE forums and talking with others that have/had Super Dutys.

Knowimg my luck, my slack will be a worn out transfer case, or maybe worse yet the torque converter/transmission... I gotta stop thinking about it, it's probably something simple.

Mmmmm, rack, if only to have a rack in my garage. Mmmmm, rack...
Until then, it's on my back on cardboard in the yard or driveway. At least I can fit under there for the most part without a jack, unlike the little cars that I can barely fit my arm.

click "User CP" on the upper left part of the forum header or thread header or whatever it's called.

click "Edit Avatar" under "Settings & Options" on the left.

I think what I did was then checked the "use custom avatar" radio button, and then went down to option 2 "upload image from your computer".

Hope this helps.

go Tigers!

In the avatar section, mine shows website as Option 1.
Option 2 is to download from your computer, and it includes a "Browse" button to make finding the pic easier.

Hey Nof1, lol, we've kind of hyjacked OleGrouch's thread on what he wants to do with his new EX. OleGrouch, please allow me to apologize.
On the plus side, the thread is getting a lot of activity tonight, but, everyone please look for the posts here by OleGrouch and the responses that apply to his EX, not our little side banter here.
