Fuel tank assembly loss of fuel due to faulty check valve, and fuel regulator, had in for repair vehicle still leaks. Tt

January 1995

The truck has 9000 actual miles on it now, but I fail to understand (1) why the windshield leaks and the vehicle has always been stored under a carport? (2) fuel gauge on front tank always shows empty when its full? (3) driver side exhaust manifold is cracked? Is there any recalls for this vehicle related to the above issues?

Reported at 8,000 miles, February 2015
