Well Rubithon update . The 40 ran up and down that trail so much I don’t even want to sit in it for a while

. A couple things . I wish it got better mpg . But the new drivetrain sure is fun . I did have 2 hiccups. 1 when one of the trailers blew a bead I used my compressor to fill the tire No biggie. But the next day when I was running out yet again

I hit my compressor switch and noticed it kept running

first I thought did I snag a line on something

everything looked fine . I could hear a hissing sound and thought. Well that sucks I somehow blew the rear arb that is brand new

. So I drove out with no lockers . I am not sure why but the next day I disconnected my air hose that fills my tires and like magic no more compressor running and lockers were good to go

. Turns out it was the air chuck leaking and I just had to push the little thing in the center and it was fine . . The other issues was my steering . I had noticed I had a small leak. But honestly was unsure of where it was coming from . I didn’t have 10 seconds to try and find it . Well on my final trip out going up Cadillac ( I was towing a trailer ) there was a rig broke making the turn next to impossible for me with the trailer. So I had to take a line that required about 450 of my horsepower’s

and hang on . As soon as I cleared the obstacle I felt I had no power steering

. At that point I was not stopping And drove out with no PS. That about killed my hands . That night I found it was just a hose that had split . I think my Bib flexed so much it actually pushed that line down

. We cut the line the next day and it was good to go . I stopped and got new fittings also. . I think I am going to clearance the bib a little so that does not happen again . . Rubidyce in a few weeks then it’s time to do a tear down and make her pretty .
