Why do we do all that just so we have to work more? I have spent a lifetime hating yard work, yet keep right on doing it.

Long rides are great in the trucks Jim


I have a squealing noise occasionally when I turn. My mechanic (very reputable) said there is a bit of play in the intermediate steering shaft. Is this the noise that would cause? It happens at like 20 something-30 mph. and its like a metal on metal sound almost

sounds like a wheel bearing. Does the noise only happen when turning one direction and not the other?
