what have you done to your truck lately? in the last 48 hours i have had to put new fuel return line kit,rear axle seal pass side,both becuase of leaks.maybe this weekend im gonna take a crack at changing rear axle fluid and check out why my speedo doesnt work,kinda figure its gotta be in the axle,already check the dash and replaced the sensor on the axle.

yeah It really sucks that Paragon got shut down..........I always wanted to go there and wheel. May be planning a trip to the Black Mountains in Kentuckey soon, will have to see how funds are, going to Aruba at the end of March, then I have some friends who want to go back to Drummond Island...................we will see

Fixin fuel leaks as I get time from the road. I have fuel issues and won't start mod'n til I get those fixed. Next is addressing exhaust issues. PO cut mine off right behind the cab. Gettin tired of gettin blacked up everytime I gotta crawl under there. Once I get that done, over-drive and either new springs and shocks, or a 2.5inch lift. Just gotta get time to work on it.
