I think you're right. Did some research on it and it is close to what other people were describing...it's not a significant amount of oil coming out to reduce the amount of oil in the engine, hope it stays like that. I'll just keep and eye on it I guess since it's well out I warranty .

Close up. Where the mirror is showing is the area in question.

Noticed that on the left bank where the front of the engine attaches to the block, there was a really dirt area around the seal. I cleaned it up and checked it about a month later and it was dirty again with what looks like a very tiny bit of oil. Anyone else see this, is this something to be...

From left to right is Daisy and Troy. Both are pure bred boxers and 9 years old, still act like puppies. Amazing dogs and our best friends, love them.

Man it drives me crazy too... I change the way I drive in hopes to avoid it popping. Ill take mine out and look it over this weekend... I was thinking of finding one from a u pull yard but sounds like even new ones do it to... Lame.

The front drivers seat started to creak and almost pop under moderate acceleration. I checked the whole seat over and nothing pops out as wrong. Any one else have this issue?

Thanks CXS, I appreciate the tip. Good to know good people .

Thanks all for your input. I'm definitely going for just getting the whole OME setup since each component was made for each other.

I was looking through the arb vehicle application guide for ome suspension, noticed it says you can only use the front springs with OME shocks. Seems like a marketing ploy to get people to buy their struts too, since I've heard people using Billies with Ome springs... Anyone else notice this?

I tend to be a little OCD about noises in my cars so feel free to let me know if I'm being crazy. There is a slight clunking coming from either the rear diff or the transmission when I shift between reverse and drive. It's not that loud and most would barely notice it . Everything is smooth...

Oh really? I've never had tires do that to me. These tires don't have a good rep either way though, poor quality and loud.

Winruns came on the truck when I bought it and know these things won't last long... Look at my drive way. Already planning for new tires when these things wear out.

That is actually a great idea. Adding it to the list.

Any ideas as to why these wheel well splash guards that attach to the body and protect the engine bay were removed/ ripped off by the previous owner on my truck? Do these commonly break down to the point of failing and maybe he just ripped them off? Thanks .

Got them rebalanced. Alot better for sure, still feel a slight vibration at those speeds of and on, but not sure if maybe I'm still getting used to the way the truck drives.
