Got back from the 2000km trip and the truck mostly survived.
Hit heavy rain and some snow in the mountain passes. Truck still leaks like there’s barely a roof in sight and lets say… I never want to experience driving it in snow again.
Had a minor oil issue that turned slightly ugly. Couldn’t find it and it mostly happens under load, 3k rpm and going uphill.
Got home and redid the fuel pump gasket, torqued the bolts to 30 ft lbs with thread sealant.
Also took the dipstick apart, retightened the fittings and added permatex aviation gasket to the npt threads/collar
Was a great experience with some great people. Highly recommend getting out and travelling with the old trucks.
