Leak and Squeak Free

One week ago today I was pulling the motor out trying to find an oil leak.  Today I drove it down the highway and it isn't leaking.  I spent about 2 hours hooking up things Tuesday night that were disconnected the previous week.  There wasn't much to report other than I did hook up a oil pressure and temperature sender for the "idiot" gauges in the cab in addition to what I had under the hood.

Today we went down to the local pump and gassed it up then made our way to O'Reilys and got some fluids to top off the transmission and power steering pump.  While we were there I showed Doug (different Doug from the neighbor) the squeaking belt issue.  He exchanged me for a new belt and the squeaking stopped!  Squeak and leak free!

Afterwards we a run down I-30 and the results were good:

60 mph = 1,850 rpm
65 mph = 2,000 rpm
70 mph = 2,200 rpm

We finished the ride, checked for leaks, squeaks, and there weren't any.  We put it back in the garage before the winter storm descended on us tomorrow.  It was 80 degrees today.

For the next 3 weeks progress will be slow.  I have an exam that I have to study for and it is going to soak up my time.
