Fixed oil leak. . .

Well I fixed the oil leak. Just a hose went bad and blew at the barbed fitting. Bizzar but stranger things have happened. I was playing around with my smoke lope setting(thankyou Jody) and boy that thing is fun. when its cold it won't run in that setting without a little help. . . and when you help it it sounds so sick A mixture of black and white smoke pouring out of the pipe, engine sounds like an old big block thats so hot it wont shut off and just sits there dieseling. It died on me a few times and I would start it in the smoker setting. . . wow. . . a cold 7.3 does not like to start on the smoker setting! more smoke and dieseling and eventually it clears out. Its definitely a setting to make it IFR(Instrument flight rules) in walmarts parking lot Well I'm going to go clean all the oil off of the body and try to get it ready for the chapter meeting tomorrow. . . which will be my first. We'll catch you all later.

Glad you got it fixed Tim and didn't need to use that fire extinguisher on your truck.
