    I can get some in the morning. Have to crawl under the truck to see the oil drip.

    Why not fix it and run with it? Probably been parked a while. It’s common to have a few bugs. Did I miss something? Major problem? Just run it. Old Truck like that’s always going to need something.

    OLD truck? It’s a dozen years newer then truck I just bought. I am hoping no issues. Only 300 miles into it. But plan is 2000 miles a year.
     
    Rideandrepair, Sons Hero and Gumper Thank this.

    There are several secure lots in the Memphis area. One of our drivers pays to park his truck and trailer there when he goes home, it's on Winchester Rd I believe. Another one is at a storage facility off of I-40, at the Hollywood St exit. Both if which are gated, and are fine to park a truck at. I can't tell you for sure how much it cost, but here's a link/location

    @Gumper I’m 100 miles from Memphis. Tuckerman Arkansas to be exact. It can sit here as long as needed.

    Just parked it behind the grain bins where it can’t be seen from the road.
