    😂 What makes it worse is, my wife is a Physical Therapist. So I can’t get away with anything! Ice it every few hours kind of stuff. But thats why I’m doing so much better than most.

    So….I did finally get it painted that day after trying multiple tips that didn’t work and finally the last one spray it nicely. After that it only took about 35 minutes to spray 3 coats on the inside. That night I was pulling paper, plastic, and tape off when I miss stepped on a ladder...

    Axle vent tube gear oil coming out

    Pulled the vent line off and it’s clear. Cleaned the remaining gear oil out of it. I’m unable to check the CTIS theory currently because I have it parked in an air conditioned shop prepping it for painting the interior of the habitat. I’ll have to check that on Sunday when I pull it out of the shop.

    Axle vent tube gear oil coming out

    I completely agree with you but no kink and the vent has that little metal cap on it preventing critters from getting into it. But I’m going to have to pull it all apart and check everything.

    Jump Starting the FMTV! Yesterday I attempted to start my truck and the batteries are dead again, understandable they are 6 year old batteries. A quick trip to Sam’s club 4 new group 31C batteries and one of those small jumpstart boxes only 3.5”x1.5”x8” 12vdc. On the way home I thought maybe I...
