Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside

Well, i replaced every seal and gasket on the engine top to bottom, front to back, except the head gaskets. During my first real tat drive, the steering was binding. I double checked the power steering fluid level and it was fine. Well later on i was driving to get food and i smelled burning plastic. I pulled over and there was a piece of wire loom laying on the header. Upon further inspection, there was no wire in the loom. The writing for the fuel level gauge and the evap sensors wss wrapped around the steering shaft like spaghetti on a fork. So now i have to pull the driver's side inner front fender and run new wires there.

Today, while driving home from work, i smelled burning oil and when i got home i looked under the truck. Sure enough, the rear main seal is leaking. I think it's leaking worse than before. I'm so pissed right now, i was to part it out. I know I'm just being dramatic right now, but what a total pain i the ass!
