Well fellas...im either a liar or stupid...
i got the fuel filter assy out(among other things) and
what i prevoiusly thought to be a fuel leak...turned out to be an oil leak...i cant believe i screwd that up...so,long story short.icp connector has oil in connector.turbo discharge oringi shot.high pressure plug is leaking.i am going to replace high pressure pump gasket and resivour gasket as well as check that upper check valve.and the drivers valve cover connectors are starting to get oil in the connectors so i guess i will throw one on for good measure.
also i looked better at the front leaf bushings that i already planned on replacing.the fronts are so shot.the bolt is 2/3 the way to the bottom.
this thing will be a new truck when it gets all this done.
also swapping trans cooler and upgrading ps cooler with a flush...sheesh,im tard just thinking about it.

It's easy to mistake fuel for oil, you're not the first one for sure. Don't forget to replace the shackle in the front. I don't think you can just buy the bushing, have to buy the shackle. I could be wrong, but I think that is the case.
You got quite a list, but nothing real major. You'll get it, just keep plugging away!
