Due to a very slow workday I put the truck up on the rack and went to work with pressure washer. Now I might actually be able to determine where all of my leaks are.

Your not supposed to wash it, that will just make the leaks worse. Your supposed to hit every muddy road you can until they're all sealed up

Since the truck is inherited and some other "genius" in the family threw out all of the maintenance records out. So I flying completely blind.

I thought ahead on that one. We have a full slicker w/ googles at work for just such an occasion. I think that I am the only one that ever uses it though. Apparently I like my clothes more than anyone else here!
