96 F350 AT shifter cable, and some griping

Turns out that at the column under the dash there is a shaft of sorts that sticks out and is connected to an offset lever which is connected to the cable. There are two screws connecting the lever to the shaft and they had come loose. Snugged 'em down and for once in a long time it was an easy fix!

Damn glad to hear it - I know how frustrating it can get but that should be a good truck for you. If my 74 and 83 are any indication, you can get many more good years out of it! Besides, have you looked at the price of a new
4x4 F350? Also, once you get it all fixed, you will know that everything is solid, right?Razor

Thanks for the chuckle. Now if I can just find another one, I'll lift up the body and slide another chassis under that one. Shortly after that I'll drop the chassis and slap another body on top of it. Whole new truck, right?
Oh, gawd, the price of new crew cabs are enough to make me wanna puke. Unfortunately, with a family of six, stuff, and places to go, there really is no substitute for a crew cab, although I disagree with my wife about the necessity of a 4X4. She likes the respect she gets on the road, while I'm the one underneath it replacing every damn part with the biggest price tags!

I wonder if you could manage to keep the same VIN after all that... probably get arrested for running a chop shop!
That's funny about the wife though... usually it's the other way around.
Good Luck!
