    First trip in the truck is going decent, except yesterday I discovered the pinion seal on the very rear diff was leaking and it got oil EVERYWHERE underneath my truck from the rear diff back. Luckily I was able to get to a shop in the same city I delivered in and I got it replaced. I've put about 500 miles on it since it's been fixed and all is good!

    Truck is still going good! Last week I went to Atlanta, Georgia and this week I am going to Mobile, Alabama, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana! So I am really stretching her legs. She's doing pretty good and I really enjoy driving this truck!

    And yes guys.. I will eventually change my signature pic so you don't have to keep looking at that Freightshaker. :p

    How come your fuel tanks aren't polish ? They stand out pretty bad. Or just paint them. You need a little bit more of elbow grease into it

    See the difference when they shine all together. And I haven't touch them over a year and a half. But your looking pretty good there kid. Keep up the good work. Btw, mine is a "94"

    Now this is a rig I could buy if I had the funds... sharp.

    I'll wait on the pete from the freight shaker. I look forward to that one too.

    Just honestly haven't had the time to polish them yet! They will be polished.. eventually. The brightener helped them in the meantime! They don't look THAT bad not polished, I mean they could have fuel running all down the sides and then dirt and grime attached to all that.. at least it's all clean metal! :p

    Love your truck! Very sharp!

    I must say that is a HUGE setback on taht front axle of the blue freight shaker. It's almost like a freaking foot closer to the driver than most setbacks Ive run...
