Tranny problems fixed (check)

Bad Ground fixed (check)

The other current problem seems to be a fuel leak at the rear of the truck:

-Started immediately after replacing the lift pump.
-Seems to dripping from the top of the tank, and appears in the area under the diff.
-The first couple of time I backed it down my steep driveway fuel seemed to pour out from under the trcuk for a few moments like it had puddled there, but then stopped.
-Engine runs great. Leak is now very small and seems to be intermitent.

Best guess is a return line? Any other thoughts, and how it could be related to the new lift pump install?

As always, thanks!

Steve

Agreed.
But--

Maybe fuel was stored in puddle along frame rail; when went to level drained from hole thru rail??
