Not much has changed. I'm working again, but 55+ hours most weeks. The truck has begun losing prime, rather quickly some times. My lift pump is bad, so this equals a lot of cranking some days. I havent had time to troubleshoot it, but i can see air in the Line from the pump to the filter housing...

I've been wanting to chronicle my M35 adventures for awhile, and I couldnt think of a better place than here. Beware, I'm a little long winded.
