87 ranger 2wd/5sp.
I was planning on using a uhaul dolly behind one of my F250s (prolly the 97).
I read through the sticky thread but couldnt really find a rock hard answer...
Im trying to figure out if a) i should put the back wheels on the dolly and tie the seat belt around the steering wheel b) load the front on the dolly and just tow it home in neutral, or c) load the front tires and yank the driveshaft.
I know pulling the driveshaft isnt hard, but i have a feeling its been on there since 1987 and i dont want to break a bolt or something. I know the owners book says 50 mile max at 35mph with the driveshaft connected, ill be going about 30 miles, but i dont always trust the owners book.
Leaving the steers on the ground makes me a bit nervous, but id figure with my F250 even if something broke and the wheels turned things shouldnt get to wonky as long as i run 45mph or so. But then again i dont really want to screw the column up.
Any input is apperciated.
