After switching dealerships I finally have one that listens to me. Unfortunately I am out of bumper to bumper so it will run me about $700 to fix it...so I am just going to drive it as it is. Mine is fine with the rpm's up but a challenge when sitting still.

I had my truck in for diagnosis a week and a half ago. Just had to wait for my extended warranty coverage to be verified, my truck is booked in for tomorrow morning. I had originally thought it was my p/s pump as is was turning hard even when reved up, and had to be two handed when sitting still, along with I not returning to center, I thought there was a pressure centering valve not working or something, but Ford dealer says it is the steering gear that is problem, so I guess I will find out tomorrow. I will let you know what happens.
On another subject, I see you live in Regina. Nice truck you have. I often pass through there on my way to visit my daughter, son in law and grand daughter. They live in Parkman, Sk. which is south of Wawota, or about 20 minutes east of the water slides at Kenose Lake. Some times we take #48 through Kipling, other times #1 to Whitewood and then south on #9 or often take #'s 39 & 6 from Moose Jaw, to Weyburn, then #13 through Carlyle, the North on # 601. It depends a lot on the weather and whether or not I am pulling the quads behind me or not. Perhaps someday we shall cross paths. I will post some pics some time so you know my truck. I have not seen another with the same decals yet.
