WORKS FOR ME!!!

FordF350Baby: All though you may or may not know much about the mechanics of a vehicle,, your local parts stores sell repair books for everything! get one, follow their instructions, ask around, and you'll be fine. If you don't think you can do it your self,, find a buddy to help a little bit. Find a library and read through their service manuals too!
You wouldn't believe how easy alot of things are to do your self!! Hope this helps ya!


My $.02
Excellant point, I may still not be able to do any of the tough jobs without a shop or anything, but I would still like to teach myself the fundmamentals of mechanics to be able to atleast better understand the industry ect when I am dealing with these people. Thank you again to all for your input and support.

For the most part. I replaced everything in the front end, and I mean EVERYTHING...and the truck still sort of wonders, and only sometimes when its in certain MPHs. I think the leaf spring bushings are to blame for that, but i am in no rush to replace those, good luck bro
