    Make sure it's not just a loose fuel filter.

    I can see the fuel filter, I don't think it's that. It's maybe a return line or injector line... it's underneath whatever it is. I wouldn't know enough of what I"m looking at to bother laying in diesel.

    Does it only leak when it's running?

    seems, yes. When I had the key turned half on while charging was when it would start to leak. I couldn't actually start it though.

    Leaks with the key on? Does it have an electric transfer pump?

    So I posted my oil check in video form in all it's glory and not ONE of you told me to check it with the engine OFF???!!! lol

    Well I checked it today right before it was leaving out and the stick was bone dry. This time with the engine off.

    Well I didn't even bother riding up to the shop with the tow guy. I told the shop to just fix everything and anything, lube and oil, my hood latch, my fuel lines that are questionable and anything else that looks to be iffy.

    Better now than on the side of the road. I hate that... another $300 stupid tax. That air-release kingpin-release is a wonderful thing... when the truck RUNS. Not so much when you need to unhook for a tow.

    Seems like this is beginning to be the norm for you PP. You'll have a good week, and BAM, a bad day. Sorry man. I guess you have to take the good with the bad. All things considered, I still think you doing pretty #### good. In this ecomony, you still manage to pull off a couple of 5g plus weeks. Think of what its going to be like once you get all the bugs work out of your truck. I'm pulling for you bro. Good luck.
