I post pics the long way using photobucket. I start my reply, click on the photobucket in my signature, locate pic in library mode, left click the url box, right click the url box and right click copy. I then go back to the reply and right click, then right click paste. There's an easier way to do this but I use the Flintstone method with my computer until someone well breasted shakes her head and says ' let me show you an easier way to do this'. As for snow, HAH this is nothing compared to what the guys in Ontario are going through. Sure am glad that I no longer live out east, north or south of the boarder.

Yeah Ford trucks in general have a way of getting into your blood. Especially the dentsides. Can't wait to see what you have.

Not specifically sure on Ford's, but the 3 on the tree tranny's were sometimes a pain in the *** on certain trucks........Not the tranny itself per se, but the linkage.........it gets redirected several times, and each junction is a potential wear point. They can get real sloppy, where its hard to find the gear.

If it hurts there, you are shifting with the wrong thing, lol.

Sorry I had to.

Thanks for the help with adding pics. I put 2 in my album if y'all can look at them there. That's the best I can do till I get home. I'm on my phone at work. I'll be able to figure it out a little better on my computer

To post pics from your album, delete the following from the URL:

html?gnr_tab=0&ref=gnr-img-albumffiffice"<O</O

and replace with:

jpg

The last step is to frame the URL with [img] and [/img]

Thanks hio. I'm sorry I don't see the part you are telling me to delete in the url. Thanks for posting the pics for me. I'm trying to do everything from my phone because my home internet is messed up.

Also I've had some time to look it over. And I know it needs a really good tune up. But I also need to replace the passenger side exhaust manifold cause its warped and leaking. I also need to replace the steering sector. I can't keep fluid in the pump as soon as it goes in it runs right back out of the bottom of the steering sector. Anybody have any tips or tricks for any of this?
