Good brisk morning New Hampshirites and habitue's from around.

Fuel filter drain valve and ccv oring blues I see Ray. At least they are cheap and easy fixes. ( insert girl I knew jokes here). Been going through about $60 a week in my rig. Says a lot about how much I go out

Have a great day and stay warm boys!

Not sure on that. Check valve cover bolts

Also leaking fuel from the fuel filter bowl. Not sure if it's just from the top but there's definitely a leak there.
Bowl? Thought only carbs had bowls? You deisal guys. Always have to differant.

Confirmed no power steering leak but I think there's something wrong with the fluid. It's pinkish and there is like a weird "solid" inside the reservoir right by the cap. Not sure if I need to worry about it for now.
Pinkish? I'd say water in fluid. Probably just from condensation. Drain flush and fill PS fluid.

Just hooked up the plow today. HUGE difference with the modified X code springs. Truck te]is nice firm.. Although there is some side to side movement. Not sure what that's about either.

Just filled er today too. $160. Last fill up was dyno day. Hopefully this tank lasts longer
Glad to hear your upgrades are working out well.

You diesel guys?!?! Be nice gas guy

Fuel bowl is no doubt the fuel drain valve orings. Just as easy to replace the entire valve for the $. Good call on the PS. Probably is water in there. Especially since it sat for a bit.

Good luck.

Shops will be packed Saturday with "I need snow tires NOW!!" customers.
But ironically will be busier on Sunday during the snow storm when people decide they actually need new snow tires.

Need to throw the visitors a few bones from time to time to keep them around and make this place look busy for the Boss.
