Thanks, guys! The fuel leak is driving me crazy, though. It's coming from the filter canister, and it's losing it pretty rapidly when the truck is running. It's killing the fuel mileage. When the weather cooperates, and I have time to really look at it, I'll confirm where it's coming from. That's something that I would've done on Saturday, but wouldn't you know it, that was the coldest day so far. :-/

Eff that! I was snuggled up inside watching movies haha. And this truck won't be seeing any offroad usage. Just every day driving and towing a trailer from time to time. What do you want photos of? Here's an Instagram one of my favorite part:




And here's one of me feeding the fire:

Well, we don't really have trails around here, just a bunch of fields and wildlife areas. It does rain a lot around here, so 4wd is useful. I plan on keeping the truck stock. The only thing that I'm really wanting to do besides the Ranch Hand front bumper and flip out tow mirrors is an auxiliary port so that I can plug in my iPod or phone. Radio stations here are lame.

Oh, and someone on Cumminsforum (I just joined a couple of hours ago haha) is helping me with the leak. It looks like it's two little washers that are causing the problem. I hope so.

It sure is letting that diesel go! Haha. I'm pretty sure it wasn't doing this before I bought it. I made sure that I checked it for leaks after I brought it home for a day to test. The good news is that I about four miles from a Freightliner dealership that services Cummins. They should have the bolt and washers I need. Hopefully they won't try to rape me on them. The truck isn't perfect, but I couldn't pass it up. I would've regretted it later. It is in great shape for it's age. Whoever had it before me definitely took good care of it. That is until they hit whatever they did with the front bumper haha.
