I have a local guy interested whom took the truck and paid to be inspected by a diesel mechanic (so only for you guys its like having a free inspection). The mechanic looked over everything and came back with only 3 things:

1.) An oil leak (HOWEVER there is not really an oil leak! when you change the oil cooler as i did you lose quite a bit of oil down the back of the motor so thats what that was. I cleaned it up this weekend and will be taking it in to be reinspected)

2.) The rubber on the carrier bearing is worn.($20 part to replce and affects the driving/handing, performance of the truck in no way).

3.) He said that my transmission shifts to smooth? Which i do not understand because the tranny shifts firm and great under all conditions. Have never noticed slipping, smells, high trans temps. So i'd say the tranny is perfect.

Only 3 things he said on the ENTIRE truck guys! I will report back after the reinspection. If interested please feel free to pm me.
