Because we like you better than that?
Because you aren't researching and installing a series of resonators, valves. And various exhaust components to make it sound like a chainsaw while you drive.
Speaking of which, you need to swap out the gas pedal based throttle for a trigger based setup that, instead of having a center console, you just read down to an old stihl body mounted to the floor and squeeze said trigger to go. Parking brake is, of course, a chain brake...
You missed mall crawling.
Lol... I need rubber band tires and wheels that stick out 6".
You guys can say what you want about WhistlinDiesel but the video of him sh*tting on second gens was hilarious.
So I got the one trans cooler line changed out. Dorman makes a direct replacement, part number is 624-352. Autozone had this one in stock, I have to order the other, but this one seemed to be leaking worse than the other. Part fit pretty well. I also tightened up the pan bolts while I was under there, they were all about a 1/4 turn loose. Transmission is no longer hemorrhaging fluid like it was.
And I spent some time investigating the source of my coolant leak. Found this.
See it?
Tiny external head gasket leak. At least I'm pretty sure that's where it is coming from. The thermostat housing is in the near vicinity but I don't think that is the source.
I don't have any coolant and oil mixing and the truck is running fine, so I think this leak is external only. Kinda sucks but oh well. It'll give me a chance to get things clean and neat under the hood.
I think there is another source of coolant as well, because based on the location of wet spots under the truck, this is unlikely to be the same leak.

Out of desperation I dumped some Bar's in the Camaro and it stopped its shenanigans. I dread purging that all out this winter.
Actually just read around on a a Cummins forum, sounds like it's a common spot to leak. Some people suggested retorquing the head bolts and seeing what that does.
