Runs like a champ but leaks like a sieve!

Already have put 500 miles on him. Truly runs great, sips fuel, and never makes a peep. I think I need a steering box rework, and a gearbox overhaul…..

Other than that, all is well. See pic!

Welcome to the club - its a "him, he, his" eh? This gender fluidity is getting to be a bit much....

before you do a steering box overhaul, try to drain all you can of the fluid in it, then replace with lucas stop leak. I've had great success with it.

Congrats. Great looking truck. Any plans for it, or just gonna enjoy it as is?

Check carefully before you go removing your steering box. Mine had pump and hose leaks at arrival.

Congratulations on the new truck!

Welcome!
I’m new here too and down in Corpus Christi.
Got mine in October and so far working to change all fluids.
Oil and gearbox are done.
fliters are done.
next up air brake fluid replacement
Grease prop shaft and u-joints
Replace diff and transfer box fluids
I’ve got a small oil leak so I need to dig into that more…

I inspected my u-joints a bit today and they seem to be tight with no play in them.

what makes you think you need a gearbox overhaul?

Yep, named him Rupert after my grandad. I am not engaging any Woke BS, gender BS as I think it is total hogwash. Thanks for the welcome to the club though!!

No real plans. I may replace the seating, but other than that not much. Not planning to off road it at all. Just a local town cruiser.

Sorry for my delay in getting back to all of you. I actually ended up having surgery about a week after I started this thread.
