So I finally was able to get Jason to settle the heck down and get started on my bed body work, have to replace some stake pockets and was going to cut the top off one side and use it for another side, but we decided to use the good side. Really greatly appreciate Jason's help in this, don't know how Id do this all without him.
So anyway, I dive the PW up to his house with the M101 trailer in tow, drives great with the trailer behind it, slow join up hills though, lol. So I take streets as far as I can before I hafta get on the hiway. Don't know how fast Im join cuz I think my speedometer is way off. After about a mile or two on the hiway, I turn and look out the back window to see how everything is doin.
The rear diff, the frame, the inside of the tires, the front of the trailer is soaked with oil. I stop and look to see if I can find out where its comin from.
Its dripping off the transfer case. Look a little higher on it, and its comin from the speedo cable sheath. I noticed when I put the cable on, there was a small split in the cable sheath, and sure enough thats where the leak looks like its comin from. So I continued on and we got a little work done on the bed sides and drove it back home. Tomorrow Ill get under it and inspect the area of the leak a little closer.
If it is the sheath, any suggestions for fixing the leak from there? And could the speedo being not correct, I don't think, be a related to it? I was on the hiway and SEEMED like I was goin faster than 35-40. Im eventually have someone ride along side and see what it says compared to what its actually doing.
Sorry long story to get where I was going, but I now have 94 miles on it and I started with 33. So Im kinda happy about it.
Thanks
Nick
