Howdy Misery, trying to wake up. Finished a 2 liter of Dew that was almost empty. Does caffeine get weaker as it gets old ( not much fizz left in that Dew ). Maybe not enough Dew left in the bottle? Almost gone.

Ches sometimes you have to rock it (the truck) a bit with on pressure on the xfer case stick, should pop into 2wd.
Or put it into "N" (neutral) on the xfer case stick, unlocks front and rear all together.
Just remember to put it back in 2wd to reengage the tranny to the back end. Did you ever tie the electric fuel pump switch to the ignition sw?

ROCK IT
Rock it baby.............. Yep gotta rock em' forward and back a few feet, then all should be allright...... Rich let me know how Penny is doing with that neck. I had a fallow up with my doctor, who also had me see the surgeon a couple weeks ago. Still not a candidate for surgery, that really dosen't upset me at all. Hoping to be able to buy some Ranger parts in a couple weeks.

Ches it usually take only a blip of the throttle in fwd or rev, with constant pressure on the xfer case stick (in the direction of 2wd) to get it to go.
If it goes right in to "N" and grinds when you try to reengage 2wd, don't worry, leave it in "D", shut off truck and then put it in 2wd. Put in park start up and away ya go.
Will do Unk Bob, let me know when you and Tim can come up, we can hit the JY in force.

All Fords with a few miles on them, might not be the norm, but it seems like that's always the case, my 77 is like that too.

Took the van out this morning and I've either got a wheel way out of balance or a belt has let go in one of the back tires. I'm so hoping that they will balance out later this week. I REALLY don't want to have to shell out the money for new tires right now. I still can't sit comfortably after putting tires on the other 2 cars in the last 2 months.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend - not bad here.

Hi All,
I've been busy working on my F250 and car lately and haven't gotten a chance to post.
77&79F250: I found a very nice, rust free bed for my truck. Got all of the e-brake lines changed out. Those are two things off of my list.
I am trying to decide if I should buy or build another motor for my truck.
I can't figure out how to send a pm. Does this feature come later?
Anyway, have a good evening everyone,
Brian
