    Any leak under the hood will find its way into the cab. When my M813 blew the muffler on a long trip we had to run with windshields cracked open and door windows open just to stay in the cab. Taped up all cracks and stuffed rags in holes and it still got in. You could find all the air leaks...

    need help with light switch

    Well. I have headlights and taillights now. One headlight must have a bad ground as it is only half as bright as the other one. No park lights, panal lights or turn signals. Are the front amber lights supposed to be on when the switch is in park?

    5 ton running out of fuel?

    The tank on mine vents high on the firewall above the fording waterline. The fuel cap is nonventing to keep water out. The line should be mounted on the firewall somewhere. Put some air pressure in the tank and listen for air escaping somewhere.
