kind of strange rear-end action....
So I hadn't had the car out for a couple of months due to the weather but did so yesterday. Decided to go out and do some hell runs because, and this is weird, I've had dreams two or three different nights where I am driving my car and when I push on the gas...nothing happens.
Weird, I know.
So anyway, I took the opportunity of semi-decent weather and went out and got her warmed up real good, then headed off to my 'private racetrack' for some fun.
And...I noticed that when I was hitting it real hard, it almost felt like the rear end was moving, sort of 'crabbing' a bit....like the left side was ahead of the right side.
Now granted, I've been cruising in my 6100 lb FX4, 5 feet off the ground and all that lately, but....I don't remember my car feeling that...squirrely.
Weird, I know.

lol.....ah, I love this forum!
I'll definitely go out and check the tire pressure(s) first and then start dinking around with rear suspension investigation.
It was fun running up to 140 or so again....I forgot what FAST was being in a 96 mph governed truck lately.....

Dave W was RIGHT ON! The right rear was down to about 12 psi.
What a dumb-*** I was for NOT checking the air pressure before going out like that....I must be getting old.
Thanks again, guys.
