    Thanks for the welcome! I will have to get back to you with a serial number. I'm away from the truck at the moment. I just purchased a m104 trailor to go with it! Most of the bows are in decent shape but it is going to take a few parts and some labour to get the cargo tarp put back on. Anyone...

    This westerncanadianrockwell website has some TOP LOADER GEAR OIL, 85W140 MI 2900 Claims to do well with these Rockwell axles, although the LO spec book calls for 80/90. Any of you guys use or recommend this type of oil?

I did see pink on the...

    Drivers side front tire has a slow leak.. he thought it was maybe the fittings on the outside of the rim. When I get time I will have to use some soapy water to find the culprit. Couldn't see coolant in the sight glass or the tank. It took 6 gallons before I could see it on the sight glass...
