No snow here at all Rick. Was a big bust here. Just had rain and wind. Although I enjoyed the rain pay we recieved since they closed the university for the snow that never came.

Watch yourself. My wife has a habit of letting up on the fuel when the Explorer is ready to shift, then adds fuel after the shift. Sounds like the trans and drive shaft are coming through the floor.

Took care of that a few years ago. Got a new steering box.

i dont do that in that truck less its not shifting... and even then itll only be to slightly back off.. but i wont hammer into it either...

i dunno if its something in those clutch packs between the 2 gears or if somethings binding up... would think if it was just binding up id always feel it...

If you ask in the Super Duty Section, Mark Kowolski, a Ford trans engineer will chime in.
