    Laitly I have been noticing this more and more. Cold start, and the motor spins over good and fast, and it starts right up. Warm motor (drove for about 15 min mixed city/highway, stopped for fuel) and it turns over really slowly, gets about 4-5 revolutions and starts to slowly speed up...

    So, I got a fairly major oil leak (a 80 km run into town and back has left some good marks on the underside of the truck, and when parked it leaves a puddle about 2-3 inches round after a few hours) Plus there seems to be some small drops of coolant in that area as well. I attached two...

    Well, went and got insurance for the truck today! Put some fresh diesel in it and took it around the block a few times. Seems good, I got more noise then I thought from the trans and the solid flywheel/solid clutch, but I can live with that for now.... It seems I have a fair amount of white...

    Water pump?

    I got to stop trying to do things to this truck... it's going to be ALL new before it hits the road. Anyway, when changing belts, I noticed that I can move the fan about 1/8" back and forth, it looks like it's rocking the shaft of the water pump. The end of the blade of the fan goes from / to...
