Ranger needs some work (photos)

Hi. Parked the Ranger. I think its a bad wheel bearing. So, thinking about attempting to fix it myself. I will let yall know once I figure out what's wrong.

Also the three speed on the tree won't shift into first anymore.

So I have been driving the nova to work. Yes, the F250 has a bad throwout bearing.

I should be starting a new job soon so instead of driving 100 miles a day to work I will only be driving 40.
That 60 miles is gonna make a big difference. Also my new schedule is 4/2 instead of 5/2. Hopefully I won't
get as tired and feel more rested.

I'm still going to be working in the oilfield so I hope work remains steady...

But, I parked the Ranger at my sister's and we loaded it up with some branches. She needed to clean up the yard or get fined because of
city code compliance. Anyway, I already took one very small load of branches to the brush collection center. It's not too far and I can stay on
the secondary roads. I don't have to drive over 30 mph. Maybe I will just jack her up and try to isolate the noise which I think is a bearing.

Maybe we can repair it in her driveway before attempting to haul off those branches. It's not a heavy load.

I haven't logged on in a very long time. I have been very busy working in the oilfield. Not as busy as some but busy nonetheless. I drive a vacuum truck so well completions keep us busiest. It is after the fracking is done and they open up the well where it gets crazy sometimes. But drilling, fracking and production keep the work steady. Now that the price of oil has dropped and operators are tightening up their wallets everything is readjusting. We have to renegotiate our contracts. Lower our prices and try to get new contracts. I think I work for a good company that will survive. It's just very young and fighting for it's place. I've seen it grow in the past 2.5 years.

I wish U the best with the job., and with getting the Truck back on the road.
