I have a 2001 ford super duty crew cab short bed with a v10 in it with 78k miles on it. I currently have two problems with the truck one is i have what sounds like an exhaust leak that i can only hear when driving the truck coming from behind the steering wheel and yesterday will be the third time i tried regasketing the exhaust at the head i replaced the factory manifolds with headers the first time because of the leak and still had it so i bought new gaskets and did it againand still had the leak, so this time i bought Remflex 100% graphite gaskets guaranteed to rebound 30% and not need to be retorqued and i still have the slight exhaust leak sound. Ive never had this much trouble getting rid of an exhaust leak.
And the other problem is that i cant turn the wheel i quarter turn to the left and then a quarter turn to the right without needing to pull the truck forward it feels like something is binding but i dont notice anything as long as im moving but it sucks to try to back a trailer up because i have to be moving to be able to turn the wheels at a certain point, i checked the front axle joints at the steering knuckles they are spinning fine.......any help would be appreciated..thanks andy
