well, the truck spent the first 5 years in Michigan. I thought they used a lot of salt on the roads around here, the roads were completely white when I went there to pick the truck up in Dec. 06. It's like they don't use sand at all, just pure salt.

Hi Dave, good to have you back. I take it that you weren't just fishin'? Hey Mike, I had to replace the diff cover and oil pan on my 97 last spring, both had rusted through. Now after the need to plow snow is past I need to replace the slave cylinder, it leaks like a sive. Have to ether drop the transfer case and transmission or pull the engine.

Have you tried to price one from a salvage yard? I installed a remanufactured one on an F250 for someone a few years ago, I seem to remember my cost for it being three hundred something.
