why exactly do yo want a 4x4. so you can experience a transfer case explode on you? will never have that problem with a 2wd.

Because of the limitations of the 2wd. I could put money into my 2wd and make it better than it is, but I wouldn't be far off from a decent used truck by the time I get done.

I know, I'm absolutely crazy for looking at 2nd Gen 4wd Rams knowing all of the transfer case issues they have, but they are considerably cheaper than Ford and Chevy, not to mention no one has a nice Ford or Chevy for sale, well, I did see one nice Ford F150 but that a Salvage Title because of a small dump on the bed.

I volunteer . I have experience as a mod on several forums. Also been a op on at least 6 IRC channels. Op on IRC is equiv to mod on a forum.

Well I got the Ford's cooing system done, now what has to happen but the left rear brake has to lock up on me, but only in Forward. Then the stupid JD2640 diesel refused to start even with 120AMPS on the starter! It only was 28*, and no the fuel wasn't gelled. i think the injector pump and head gasket are shot. I'm gonna strip out the worthless ether starting system and put glowplugs in it.

So for the Ford since I never have done brakes before and neither have time nor heat to do it I am having it towed down to a shop 6mi or so south of me to have it done. Time is running out... Have to get bales on Saturday!!!!!!

Now for some mischief... the Ford DOES have 4wd ! It just doesn't have 6wd :O . Get it? ROFL...
