The rear ends in these trucks will jump around, so its not a good idea to dump the clutch. Also, ring and pinions aren't made for strain in reverse, only forward. Secondly, almost all of these trucks have noisy power steering systems.

I agree with vman, Ford's our age have always had a loud power steering pump. Wynn's makes a additive with claims to quiten it down, but having never tried I can't say whether it works or not.
