Re: I hate some previous owner because.....

I could go on and on about the limited ability of the previous owners of my truck. I believe they thought they were doing something positive or in the best interest of the truck.

Thats a torque strap. It supposed to keep the motor from moving as much and transferring the power to the rear wheels faster.
