Sorry, this is a bit long. I wore out an 88 Silverado 1/2 ton, at 250K, and bought a 90 F150 nearly sight unseen from a neighbor. He bought it new, drove it to work 3 miles away, always garaged it, only 75K miles, and I needed a pickup urgently to finish a home move. I have never been so bummed as to the antiquated features, light blue paint falling off and of course gas consumption. Good tires, went down road without pulling sidewise, tires balanced, but I had constantly watch it to keep it in the lane and pulling a trailer was dicey. My usual shop said that it needed ball joints. OK $400. Was as bad or worse than before, complained, they said it was the steering gear box, kinda pricey. I asked them to tighten the backlash on the existing box, they were reluctant, but did it. Worked much better, but after 3-4k its back to weaving. I owned many worn-out cars in my 60 years and never had to repair or replace the steering box. I keep the pickup around as an "emergency" car as it has automatic, so the wife could drive it or we use it if the main car is in the shop, and of course hauling kid's trash or a few boards. So we don't put more than 2K per year on it, but it is aggravating to drive. Engine is sound, tranny gets the job done. But put in a steering box in a low mileage "super duper wonderful, leading sales numbers Ford"? Anybody have trouble with your F150 steering? Must be a lot of you out there according to the Ford blather. Leonard I Bensuckered.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
