dont worry about it its an assembly aid. not necessary friends first off please forgive me if i get some of the terms wrong! i have a 1996 pu 360 1500 slt 4x4. as i was laying under the front of the truck hiding from the family i was looking at the front driveshaft u-joint. attached to the forward yoke the end that goes into the front differential there seems to be a ring above and below on the cross with a thin piece of metal about the thickness of a bobby pin running between the rings. it appears to have rusted away from one of the rings and is just dangling from and behind the top of the cross the way the u-joint is sitting now. if you have a haynes manual 1994- 2001 you can see the little piece of metal barely on page 8-9 in illustration # 10.14a at the bottom of the yoke. on my truck using the photo as a reference the very bottom appears just to have rusted away and is hanging. i guess my questions are what is this and can i use the four wheel drive as it is thanks all! steve .

what a difference new tires can make! finally got my new michelins ltx m/s installed today and its like driving a new truck - smoother ride that annoying little braking shudder is gone handles much better especially on the turns. the new tires arent particularly noisy either. woohoo! heres hoping it actually *snows* this winter here in england! jmc .

forgive me for my ignorance but whats a zerk its a access point at which to pump in grease. kinda looks like a 1/4 boob. at first thought id misread and you meant grease jerks ah ... well the jerks that built the truck should have put in more zerks. craig c. .

its easier to see from the top than the bottom. i cant see mine unless i shine a flashlight down there. doesnt help that my truck is black either... the tube sticks out of the firewall about 2/3 of the way down and its pretty much right in line vertically with the passenger side head. just down towards the ground a bit more. bruce porter b.a.porter@att.net wrote in still cant find the drain tube on the firewall looking down from under the hood. do i have to get underneath and look up joe wrote bruce porter b.a.porter@att.net wrote in joe wrote tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net wrote in i seem to rmember something here about a blocked drain tube is it easy to find/clean or should i just take it to dealer look on the bottom of the firewall passenger side just above the wheel well for a little rubber 90 elbow. this is the drain. snake a pipe cleaner up in there and see if you can unclog it. the 03 at least mine doesnt have the elbow - its a straight pipe that exits the firewall horizontally. this is part of the problem in that the drip from the drain can be blown back into the cab as the truck is moving. the solution was to seal the area around the drain to prevent the drip from coming back in. joe 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc 93 mustang 5.0 lx hatch with a few goodies thanks. i looked with a flashlight last night and didnt see anything similar to a drain tube. bottom of firewall just above wheel well ill try to look today before it gets dark. mine comes out of the firewall and simply ends; it sticks out only about 1/2 or so. if you follow the tranny dipstick down behind the passenger valve cover you should be able to see the tube poking out of the firewall. again note that clogging isnt necessarily the issue - its the water exiting the tube that gets blown back into the cab that causes the problem. because my tube wasnt clogged water never entered the cab unless the truck was moving over 30-40mph. that was fast enough for the airflow down there to push the water back around the tube and into the cab behind the firewall. .
