F250 has something pulling it down?
Hi again,got the O2 sensor ordered but noticed something else since my last post.
I was driveing on the hwy at 65 and when I let off the gas to turn it felt like I had the brakes on when I didnt?
I pumped the brakes ect.. and still felt like I had a weight dragging?
I stopped and felt the hubs ect.. and nothing was hot but when I started back down the road it wasnt doing it anymore.
later when I got home I started checking fluids,the front pumpkin took almost a full (quart?)of gear lube and since it's about -15 here in Minnesota I didnt get to the transfer case or rear pumpkin yet but is there any other things I should check?
What else might be causeing that dragging feeling?
Thanks for the info

Check you parking brake for actuation and release. Check the cable closely and how it is routed. Have someone apply the parking brake slowly while the truck is OFF and CHOCKED. If this is okay, how long ago did you do your last brake job? It is very possible that the lining on the rear brakes have unbonded and a peice is doubled up. I have seen it in poor quality shoes on the rear. Replace your fuel filter if it has been a while. Make sure to bleed the system properly prior to replacement. Take a quick look at all vacuum plumbing and check the vacuum hose on the fuel regulator for presence of gas. Tire pressure @ 50# per tire, depending on what you're running. Let us know.
