Need HELP preparing for plowing!
Hey guys, first off I just wanted to say how helpful this forum has been. Now, I have a 2002 F-250 V10 4x4 Crew Cab with 63,000 mi. on her. Recently, I have noticed a whine coming from the driveshaft from low speeds all the way to normal cruising speeds. A buddy of mine said it was the U-Joints and he had the same problem. Is this accurate?
Secondly, I just got 4 brand new tires and an alignment, but for some reason, the truck still pulls slightly to the right. I just replaced the ball joint, tie rod, and many of the connecting pieces. Would this be caused by a bad U-Joint too, or could it be something else?
Thirdly, I have noticed a popping noise that comes from my drivers side wheel when I take a significant corner and all the weight is transfered down that way? U-Joint perhaps? And I also noticed a clicking that comes from this front wheel as well. Related perhaps?
Lastly, I am the fourth owner of this truck. I just bought it in September, and have already invested a bit of money for the plowing purpose. I know one of the previous owners used it for plowing. Any thing I should look for?
And very finally, how many damn U-Joints does this truck have?
Sorry, if it's a long read with lots of questions, but I do appreciate any answers quite a bit.

Yes could be ujoints or carrier bearing..
Could be brake related..
Probably stabilizer bar bushings..
I would change all the fluids, filters and other maintenance..
about 6 u-joints
2 on each drive shaft and 1 at each front wheel..
My 2 cents...
