New truck

It's been a long time since I've been on this site, but I figured I'd stop in to introduce my new truck.


1996 F-250 4WD, 460ci., auto, XLT, some sort of lift not sure how much, 35's, front bumper hitch, gooseneck hitch in bed, airbags... bought it 2 months ago with 98,000 miles on the clock. Been real happy with it so far. Tons of power, fairly smooth. A few bugs though:


Heats up a bit while idling in traffic, exhaust tick(have new gaskets but not ready to commit the time), cruise control no worky, rear tank has a leak in what seems to be the return line, reverse lights don't work(bulbs are good), and I think I got the death wobble twice. Other than that, it's a keeper. Any suggestions on any of these issues?

Bad fan clutch on the overheat

Bad wires on the reverse lights as I recall they run dangerously close to the front driveshaft
