I agree Warthog, I actually go by mileage. My MV gets 25 mpg @ 55mph and around town 20mpg. I need to get a new float for the tank thats for sure!
When the truck starts up it is white barely visible. The more I thought about it the truck was on a small hill and it could have set the diesel away...
I got it started! It was cranking over however is it possible I let the tank get too low and dirt got in the way of the filter? I added more fuel (already had 5+ gallons in tank) and after a few seconds it started. The diesel was only a few days old so it wasn't sitting for very long at all. I...

for any West Virginia Steel Soldier here... Is there a shop you would recommend me going to? I'm not too far from Cumberland as well for any Maryland Steel Soldier
Thank you, I made it to Maine & back to West Virginia ok but I ended up using 7 qts to make sure the transmission got back in one piece. It is now at the shop that rebuilt it so I should find out soon! It didn't appear to be leaking from that o-ring however I will keep an eye on that.
I believe its coming from the transmission itself but everything is covered in fluid. Any ideas where the problem areas are? It was rebuilt 5,000 miles ago
I have a few problems all related to the NP 208 transfer case.
1) I leaked about 4-5 qts of Transmission fluid over 600 miles
2) I have located new seals however I guess there is 4 different one's
Part #'s are
