Was everything just loose, or did you find other faults?

loose. with a new motor or truck, it is a good idea to sniff around it real good after a few miles to check for things that have worked loose or loose from the very start. I am satisfied with everything at this point. I still need to fix the reverse light. I will check for loose bolts etc again in a few thousand miles.

Happy trucking....JKE

Weaping fluids are good! That way you know you aren't running dry!!

That's right...If it quits leaking, you know you are in trouble!
