I'd say fix the oil leaks but then it wouldnt feel like a Cummins. Oh, and rebuild the front end, yet again.

Driver side lower ball joint...which means I'll end up doing upper and lower on both driver and pass sides. They're still the original ball joints with just over 80000 mi on them. Pass side is still good, but, I know if I only do the driver side then the pass side will need them a week later thanks to good ol' Murphy. I may look into shocks too. I suspect they're getting a little weak. Not bad, but worth changing out.
