Jim decided to go and get new seals for the ends of the fuel hoselines. He went back to Isuzu and bought 8 seals...for a cost of $7.00 - and it worked!!! It's not leaking! All those prayers helped...I just felt SO incredibly bad for Jim. He worked for probably 30 hours over the last 2-1/2 days in good and bad weather and this just seemed like such a blow. He's tweaking things now and hopefully we'll be able to take it for a test drive soon.
Then we'll have to see how things go from there as far as our trek to NY!
Late evening update...
Little test drive around here went well so in the evening we decided to head to Bag's in Millersburg for a longer test drive. The truck did great - it ran really well and Jim became a little more comfortable driving it and confident that it could make the trip. Over nachos we strategized about the trip. We decided to leave Thursday and come back Sunday - or maybe Monday, which would involve me getting a day off work. Jim wants to get the rear light working tomorrow and we figure Wednesday will be a packing day.
What a relief about the truck - all of Jim's hard work sure paid off!
