The guy had a 1 ton chevy on the hook for the same thing earlier in the day. I've been told that its common with our bumpy roads and heavy loads. Can you believe that I was around the 100 kph area the entire time. I'm gonna name her "Drama Queen". Funny thing is that I have to fix it to sell it, and get almost nothing for the truck. All I can say is I it was weekend for vehicle issues, now its behind me, and lifes good. I might have said a couple bad words about dodge/cummins that day, but I'm over it. You should have seen my hemi 1/2ton pull the old girl home on a car trailer. The rear bumper was almost on the ground and couldn't really pull the hills. They sure don't make good half tons pick-up cars these days. I averaged 6-8 mpg out of the half ton pulling a 3200 kg truck.

You're talking about my half ton. I just abuse it. I already spend too much time with 3/4 ton diesel. Even my wife's jealous. Reason my head gasket went is that I was pulling some boost #'s on head gasket that wasn't retorqued (o-rings), and you know how I baby the old girl. Even had the smoke rolling, on the pull.

Not a biggie, I just have to spend more alone time with her. I wanted to get my suspension installed, but...that motor just needs a little more TLC. The leak might even stop with a re-torque. I'm gonna try it and see, as I have nothing to lose. I've drank away my anger, so its cool
Tater, you around on the weekend? If you are you want to hook-up for a garage meeting?
