(by the way its a mtx) f250 4x4 muddin anyone?

Within 3 months, I couldn't get it into gear at all without grinding unless double clutching. -Lance Lance Kinley CEG Webmaster 95 SE, "Cassandra" 10 years!

I seem to remember you saying something about it a while ago indicating it may cause issues (that was my interpretation of what you said). Bless our servicemen & women overseas.
