As shown I start the truck, it’s in neutral and when I let out the clutch it makes that crazy grinding noise. This all started when I was on the interstate going like 75 at about 2300 rpms and I noticed that same grinding sound and went to take it out of gear and it felt stuck and when I finally got it out of gear and pulled over, the clutch almost fell to the floor when I pushed it in, but still came back up, just slowly. Now after sitting for a couple days it feels more normal but not completely. If anyone has an idea of what’s gone wrong and what needs to be replaced I’d greatly appreciate it.

Im newer to this forum i have a question im looking to get into hualing material so im looking at an old 1985 ford f-700 in very good condition but the motor is locked up i can do most the labor myself but im wondering if its worth it its got a gasser engine in it im unsure of what kind but im debating on buying it for 750 and taking the spark plugs out and dumping penetrant lubricant down it and trying to turn it over by hand but for what im gonna pay is the cargo capacity and i mean in general is it a good idea to buy this truck for my wants and needs for its price im hoping parts are not to hard to find for it

So I just got my CarAbc 12 upgrade screen kit. I ordered the Dark Grey kit for my 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor. The color is slightly off compared to the original but nothing crazy that will drive me nuts. Installation was very straightforward using YouTube videos like @CocoTreks and @Exploringthewildlands for references and tips and tricks. Took me roughly 3 hours taking the trim bezels and screen/APIM off and tackling some laundry to help the wife and then back in to transfer all the stuff that needed to be transferred from the old screen and trim and then installing it back into the truck. I confirmed my radio was on 3.4 ahead of time so when I fired it up it only took 2 attempts at turning it on and off and on again for the screen size to adjust. I didn’t have to unplug or do anything updates. The screen is bright and bold. Responsiveness is only a fraction slower than the aged original screen. I can’t wait to take a road trip and really enjoy the screen size and the giant map. Best part is my wife checked it out and she loved it. So if anything changes about my opinions about this kit I’ll come back and revise this post. Also this is an unpaid “review” CarAbc said I don’t have enough followers to get a free screen. Hahaha. @CarAbc

Hey guys. Bullnose fords are my fave generation. My dream truck is this specific one I’ve found on marketplace. About a 2hr one way drive. 1986 F350 Crew cab swd w/ the 6.9Ll IDI. This also happens to be a manual and a 4x4.
When I go out to look at it what are some things I should be looking for that would be a deal breaker?
They are asking 4,500$ for it. 80k on dash shown to have rolled over.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My first four wheel drive.

95 f250 7.3 w/ 200k 4wd Everything worked as of 2020, but it’s been parked for 4-5 years.

I’m new to mechanical style work but not afraid to get my hands dirty. I have no idea, other than changing oil and checking fluids and battery, what I’m doing. I want to make it perform better and sound better if possible. It’s a v8 for crying out loud and it doesn’t sound any better than my 4 cylinder Tacoma. I can say it’s a bit faster but I feel like it could be better.
