Its been a while...

since I last posted. Since then I think I have been to California and back. I have had some problems but thanks to THIS site they were pretty much minor problems. I did have the HPOP resivoir going dry it happened twice and I thought I was fixing to tear it apart but then I figured out what the problem was. It was the oil lines going to the heads. One decided it wanted to let oil spew out of it on I 80 / I 84 in Utah. It really sucked. Other than that one problem the truck ran pretty good with trailer in tow ( 21k total). Also replaced the HPO pump, but that was before the busted line.

When I had the BTS trans put in last year Cale told me it was going bad. It started to get worse just more laggy and such. Check engine light came on all the time and such. So I didnt want to risk being in the middle of nowhere and having an issue. My problems seem small though compared to FN74's.
