I just heard about that extra oil tank deal this week Gary. Part of the emissions system for clean diesels? I was also talking to a guy at the fuel pump the other day who had one of the 6.4 Fords - he said he only got 10 MPG if he was lucky, the emissions on his used diesel in the second stage burning of the exhaust gasses? WTF?

That truck of mine gets 16 all day long - 18+ on the highway flat out pulling an empty trailer and is as comfortable to sit in as the couch I'm on now.

I picked up a new front axle assembly for it yesterday from our local used parts purveyor. Ordered a new set of Rancho front leveling springs, shocks for all 4 corners, new rotors, calipers and pads for the front - which all should be in tomorrow. Got some paint work planned in the next couple of weeks to take care of the rust that's starting to show up and I'm going to be putting on a set of the Bushwhacker wheel flares I always wanted.

Got a road trip to pick up a car coming up in another few weeks after that, want it looking/running good for that trip.
