    Lovely oil leak

    6.2 gods, lend me your ears... I got an oil leak...it's been leaking but since I don't drive it much I haven't delved too far into it. We are talking a quart every 100 or so miles. Enough that it's idling there will be a couple drops in 5 mins or so. The oil hasn't been changed because it's...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Replaced an air line. Removed the eight layers of paint, come to find out the air lines are original. Rear emergency glad hand valve is stuck closed... Better than stuck open... But it needs to be replaced.

    Gutted a lot of the ceiling in the 934...and removed the vent ducts.... Water penetration, and saturated fiberglass insulation is no bueno.
