Ive been spending a ton of time (and $!) on the truck, but it is almost road ready now. When I got the truck, I noticed it had a leak from the transmission that wasn't there when I inspected it. Turns out it had been driven or forklifted to a new location with a bent driveshaft and it cracked the tailhousing (check the pic...). I found a replacement and figured while I had it apart, I might as well put a Gear Vendors overdrive on it. New driveshaft, fluids, glowplugs, Optima batteries, belts and lines and the truck runs AWESOME! Starts on the first bump and the overdrive gets me to 70mph with low rpm. Still needs some work - new brakes and lines are sitting on the dining room table and a 2" suspension lift is on order from ORD. New tires after that, bodywork and paint when it gets warmer.
