    I'm not entirely familiar with an isx, but it's still a diesel engine. They all work pretty much the exact same. If any of those orings was bad, a ton of fuel would be getting dumped into the oil. All he had to do is check is oil, and wipe some on his finger. If it rubs clean, it's got a lot of fuel in it. If it stays black, no or very little fuel.

    Pete, do you have a history with this shop and mechanic, or is it just who was convenient? You need to find a solid, good mechanic and limp three truck to him every time it needs something. Taking it to a different guy every time is only gonna cost you more and more money. Most mechanics are freaking clueless, so your chances of getting an idiot are way too high when you go to whatever shop is convenient vs the one good one you find.

    For all the trouble you've had with that truck, I would've traded it off by now.

    It was some kind of press. Had sharp edges, that's why I tried to use so much padding. I was really surprised when it cut through the moving blankets and felt the way it did.

    That is a stinker. Any idea of something you could have used to save your tarps?
