Couple quick questions

First off have any of you heard of or had your bolts that hold your steering box break off. My dad has a 99 F-350 4x4 with a V10 and last year he had his break off going down the road. Luckily he dosen't drive far or fast so he made it home ok.

Next question. I have noticed that I cannot use the big truck pumps with my truck because my filler neck has a "block off" plate similar to the ones on gas engine with the little flapper. Mine openings bigger than the gassers without the flapper but no completely open like the ones on our F-550's at work.

Thanks in advance.

Never heard of the first, but for the second, I think you can pull that thing out. I remember someone doing it, but I don't recall the details. They might have pulled the hose between it & the tank off and cut it out...

Not sure if you can remove it. Thought is was part of the metal piece that the cap screws to. Not sure I'll have to go outside and look.

I've heard of it happening on other vehicles, can't say why. was the vehicle ever in an accident?

jason, let me try to tell you the code: take out spaces and _ marks, i put them in to show you.

well, it works if your link is somewhere on the internet. if your photo is only on your hard drive, you can't do it.

I don't know -- are you using the "Manage Attachment" button at the bottom of the advanced editor screen?

I went into my album, clicked on the photo and on the bottom, copied the BB code and pasted into the box.

I have used the big truck pumps on my 97, but you gotta be careful, or you will get a shower!

CampSpringsJohn - Yeah me too. I stay away from them for that reason. But once in awhile I come acrossed the bigger nozzle on a pump near the gas pumps.
