pretty schnazzy... it's my color too. lol

Those trailers I pulled to MI and back a few weeks ago had those in them for delivering hospital beds. Kinda thought that's what they meant. Does that agent require you to have a trailer like that?

Black is such a fun color to hand unload in south TX in the summer.

well all you folks who have been yelling jump as the man said may finally see some blood. I didn't jump but i may have fell

unloaded this morning after a great day running yesterday. After 15 minutes I smelled gear lube so I got to looking and found a puddle about 6 inches wide under the front of the trans. I had a thin stream coming out. It tapered off the longer I sat there. Don't know if that is because I wasn't running so there was little oil on the front seal, or if it means i'm out of lube.

either way, I can't fix it. cant replace a seal in a trans that worn out since that's what ate the seal. and I can't afford a trans.

I've got no load, sitting in Midland TX about 600 miles from home and don't know if I will make it when I do find a load.

I can get into the new truck cheaper then I can buy a reman transmission for this one but I still have no money. The house note will be current on wednesday (with the next one due right away) but all my funds have gone to catching that up, I have none for the downpayment

Your saying out of the front? did you have it overfilled because of the noise? Manual trans usually will only leak standing out the back. It could be slinging out the front and being retained around the clutch when running and draining when stopped.

Use straight 190W plus STP, its warm enough there to not cold seize, and slightly underfill to get home.

yes out the front. it leaked most when I first stop driving. after sitting it eazes up but is still dribbling.

I topped it off before I left the house but it wasn't overfull. And it's almost pure lucas already.
