yeah, Ive got to find the oil leak, its going through 1-1 1/2 quarts a day. the fuel pump fell off the other day, and the dipstick tube is loose. I think the biggest problem with this truck is that someone didnt use a orque wrench

Welcome from NY.
Change the oil filter mount gasket. Mine leaked like crazy when I got the truck. I'll be visiting AZ next week.

I would have never thought of that. Its amazing how much oil can actually come out of a little gap. What brings you to Az, and what part are you gonna be in? Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, thats the great thing about living in a desert, no rust. then again, when you buy a fixer upper, it doesnt have a working a/c unit, and its about to get hot. if your into bikes, arizona bike week is going on this weekend. dont know if its worth going to, I dont get into the big crowds. If your looking for a clean bump, I pass one that seems to look decent from the road on my way to the jobsite everyday. I dont know what theyre asking. People in Az are weird, theyll either give it away, or they want way to much for a piece of crap.
