I know mine is hard to steer in 4x4, I can turn the wheel and stop the truck on pavement, if I on pavement and pulling trees, I have to shift in and out of 4x4 to get lined up on the next one.

I was begining to belive I had a locker in the front end, but I dought that

My family and I are relocating to Wilmington NC. My two boys (10 and 14) and I are driving down there on Thursday with my CTD with my older sons Deville on a dolly. We are exceptionally excited to get back home (Southeast) and look forward in recreating the life we gave up for careers up here in MN. I'll keep you posted as we get settled.

DiEseLjunKy Thanks for the input, I'm going to do this to my truck ASAP in the process of getting the $$$$ together. I'm convince with a basic stock truck I'll get closer to the 2 MPG's based on my experience with my old IH SCOUTII. A 10% => MPG increase is worth it. There is no real reason for Fuel prices to be this high but I believe they'll do everthing to keep them as high as possible. This MOD will payitself in 3 => 5 year based on my driving habits and the cost of fuel.

Let see no drilling in ANWAR, no new drilling in the Gulf, no new drilling of the Coast of California, no new Wind mills in Wyoming, no alternet Engery supplies in the back yards of Kentucky, 1 new refinrery in 25 Years. This is why we have $4.00 Gasoline & $4.25 Diesel Fuel. This has nothing to do with shortages. Everyone get used to it!!![sm=icon_cheers.gif]
