Correction- It's ending up on the front axle. I've been looking ALL around but can't pinpoint it. Can't see any moisture from the top.

Today, I started smelling some serious fresh gas fumes inside the cab. When I got out, it smelled even more, and I discovered there was a pretty steady dripping from under the engine. It was dripping off of the trans and couldn't figure out where its origin was. Any ideas? I'm now driving a...

uh oh, everyone knows the happiest days in a boat owner's life is the day he buys it and the day he sells it.:p haha have fun!

amazing!! where in the sierras was this?

exactly. Maybe a heavier oil too if it's running real low.

I have to ask: I know this probably sounds absolutely ridiculous, but bear with me and remember I am a clueless idiot. Would keeping the spark plug wire of which is the culprit unhooked ease the engine at all and thus expand the life before the engine dies? Or is that the stupidest thing you've...

Yeah it's not very loud. Very quiet. can't even hear it at higher speeds. Engine noise drowns it out. I'd definitely describe it as a click or tick.

Hey guys, just drove about 200 miles to tahoe. 4r ran great. But when I got up to the house, I noticed that there was a slight knocking that increased in speed as engine RPM goes up. The kocking isn't loud or feelable. Rather, it's more of a ticking or tapping. It just concerns me considering...

:worthless:

yup. that precisely

ACTUALLY, unfortunately, it was the old man's decision. My pops was convinced that it was the way to go- to fix it and keep it as a "long term investment". I tried so hard to convince him that i'd be better off selling it. Hell, I even put it on CL to see what kind of offers I'd get... I was...

Exactly. and judging by the condition of the rest of the truck, it was taken care of. I doubt a complete rebuild would even be a possibility. A head problem is not a hard job.
