looked at the oil leak from the HPOP and went, "...yep, I gotta fix that..."

Tore the turbocharger off (had to cut the two clamps holding the exhaust pipes) to replace the pedestal o-rings after it used two gallons of oil to get home from Detroit yesterday.

I'll finish it this weekend.

looks like it'll be Monday or Tuesday. No one stocks the turbo-to-exhaust clamps

Replaced the block heater element and cord yesterday. Element was burned out and the cord was getting kind bad in some places. Never taken a heater element out that was in so tight. Had to warm the truck up to operating temp. to get it to move. Wouldn't budge cold. Oh well. At least I got it changed. They are calling for snow tonight.

I drove it around Niagara Falls sight seeing, then drove home to Pittsburgh. Averaged a little over 18mpg on the trip. It sure was cold up there in the Great White North!:cold 3
