You might be in trouble if.....

Maya wasn't quite up to playing kissy face with Baby. But, there was peace in the valley.

Not quite 'fixed' up. The truck is into the shop on Wed. That vibration, replace ALL the plugs and there is a track-bar to be looked at.

I did say he charged the going shop rate. $100 an hour. Job was 3 hours. Plus bits/pieces and tax. I didn't price shop before he started work, either. He showed me the Ford book that says to remove head before doing any of the plug work. He was able to do it by feel..you sure can't see anythting in there. I have no complaints at all. I just thought his yard was worth a comment. Usually, when one is going into a new-to-you shop..one kind of sizes up the place and who works there. A pile of rusty metal, spilled oil, tools just willy-nilly...and a sheep wandering..is usually not a good sign.

More than just a thing or two. Most are skilled at knowing how to improvise, making do what is on hand. :) And most would give a stranger a willing hand. More than could be said of most city slickers. :R Most can't even change the oil in the own vehicles and would not have the fancy yards if it wasn't for the hired landscapers and caretakers.

When you take the drive shaft off remove it from the spline and put it back so the two yolks on the ends line up. As said above 180 out won't make it vibrate.

I worked on construction equipment for many years and that place you found has a nice parts department out back.

Did you say how much he charged? For the repair I mean.

Did Maya make friends with the sheep?

Glad to hear you're fixed up and back on the road.

Gary carry on I think sometimes the daily dose of stool softner is forgotten by some people.It happens.Stay way from the fires.

I hate to tell you but the drive shaft being 180 degrees off from where it was will not make a vibration. Now if he got a hanger bearing out of alignment that could.

you could have taken it to CW and picked it up,in about two months ,maybe fixed?

The way things turned out. "You Might Be In Trouble If"

As for the rest of you...geeeez....I could have said no, not here. In fact they guy was recommended by the folks in the NAPA shop. He did fix it..did I say otherwise? And he charged me the going shop rate. I wasn't complaining. Some of you could figure that out all by yourselves and some of you...need a life.

I didn't get her name..if anyone else is by, could they say hello for me, please.
