    Search best synthetic engine oils. The Tribodyne that Chris sells is good stuff. John Deere is usually good stuff - I don't know what they sell Royal Purple is good, but I never liked the color. I used Amsoil, with very good results. Where I am, I could order and sometimes have it in the...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I'd get it close and run it until it pukes. Might go another 200,000 miles . I'd slap a bypass filter on & run synthetic oil it to slow future wear.

    OBS Outpost.

    This might be interior and exterior. I just heard of this place this morning. Has anybody dealt with them? If I ever need new seats again, in the 1994 6.5, I might upgrade to the 2017 or something. They have brackets and stuff. https://obsoutpost.com/

    Handy electric pruning saw - hack and squirt. Almost chainsaws and wood cutting

    We recently bought a similar saw at an overstock discount store. A friend bought one off Temu that seems OK and has a pole saw extension that seems really handy for pruning. I haven't figured out Temu and I'm not sure I want to. I guess if your buying made in China crap, you had just as...

    If he is referring to anything from the last 10 years, get them tested and balanced People frequently say that about new injectors. It's been Proved wrong too many times to be trusted. It's worth the time and money to be sure of what you're installing

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Years ago I would install new injectors out of the box. I don't remember hearing of many bad injectors back then. Now days, it's not uncommon to have at least one out of 8 that needs attention. In my mind, it's well worth the money and time to know what you're installing. It can be a...
