Besides, screw the fishing. There's some great riding up in them thar hills! (Miami Trails is less than a 10 minute drive from there to the west.)
You can go through Yosemite from the East side (Lee Vining) on 120, into Yosemite Valley, then 41 south out of the Valley. The falls have been rocking this year. Bass Lake is about an hour south from the Valley Floor. Not that far, but at 25 MPH that's along drive to Wawona.

Found a lightning i like..
Its cheap.. A few issues though. Its got almost 100k miles. and its on its second motor.
"Motor was replaced due to the spark plug issue that ford had on the 99 to
2002 models with the heads not having enough threads and the spark plugs
blowing out if not torqued correctly"..
haha I havent seen it in person yet but a few freinds of mine have and have done some audio work on it..
Now this truck is in Kerman and my dad wants me to ask this guy if he would bring it up here to my mechanic for him to look at it.. Sound reasonable? or is that a rediculous request? I mean if he wants to sell it then sure... It is an hour and a half drive though.... I dunno.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
Looks nice btw and is putting out 393rwhp/492tq [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

LS diff clutches are probably shot. Tranny? (It's the same as in the Eff Two Fiddy 4R100?). Personally, I would RUN. Quickly.

Informative post, haven't experienced the pulling downfalls. The only thing I tow with it at this point is a tandem two quad trailer with usually one quad on it. If I do get a trailer, I'll throw the quad in the truck and pull a 26 TT. I've been a Ford guy all my life, besides a 69 Chevelle, the only vehicles I've owned were Ford.
I would have gotten Dodge or Chevy, but, I love the looks of the Ford Truck, inside and out. I think the Duramax with Allison and Cummins are excellent combos, but, I don't like the look of Chevy or Dodge. The PSD with its tranny is the weakest of the three IMO, but because I use it more for driving to work and love a big truck, Ford was my pick.
Truth be told, I've always wanted that type of truck and figured I'd better get one before I have one foot in the grave [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
