With my recent radiator replacement, fuel filter head leaking and just yesterday replacing the center driveshaft carier bearing and a u-jount...my neighbor sees me struggling with poor health and shaky hands to perform these tasks. So just earlier he says to me..."Ray I think it's time for a new truck". My reply, when you cut me a check for $65,000 I'll go get one and I'll even let you pick out the color. Well, that shut him right up, of course I would never own another diesel so, that would save him about $8000. ;)

I don't know man, I might be crazy but it's hard for me to think of any vehicle I'd rather own than a single owner bricknose diesel, I call you a lucky man. Somethings money just can't buy.

So far so good on the radiator.
With the recent cold snap on a cold morning start before the thermostat opened I had a slight pressure weep at the upper rad hose into the water pump.
Fuel filter plug is dry but it still rubs me the wrong way I had to plug that hole...now I got a unsightly wire hanging, suppose I'll snip it off.

I tucked my wire back into the loom and got it out of the way. Didn't want to cut it, just in case I wanted keyed 12v power to anything under the hood. Lol

Well, you can always loosen the plug so it leaks a little, that'll change the direction of rubbing.

It is almost unbearable and unsightly to see a wire hanging down, especially driving around with the hood open.

OK, just spoofing. :rolleyes:
