Yup Jeff. I had the MTZ's on my 6.5 for 4 years and I loved them. They look awesome and performed really well in all our weather conditions around here. I never rotated them, and found the front to be cupping a bit but that would be my fault.
As for noise, not to bad I guess.
I can't...
I always changed my oil every Nov/December in my 6.5. I would run about 9k miles a year. I ran 0-40 full synthetic.
In my "new" to me LLY, I'm thinking of doing the same.
As for an UOA, never.
Took the truck for a test drive today. It's not my 6.5 thats for sure.
Question for all of you that own a d-max...when I would slow down, it seemed to be braking a little. I felt like it didn't roll as free to a stop like my 6.5. The owner says it's normal for the allison. Is this true...
Update: The owner still has the '05 LLY. He told me that he got the balance rates checked at a GM dealer and 1 inj. needs to be changed. He says the cost will be around $500. We are close to making a deal I think.
Question is, should I be worried that more injectors will need to be...
A friend of mine has a 1994 Burb and whenever he starts the truck and turns on the air cond. the flapper will flap for a minute or two. He turns the key off and it does the same thing. Make sense? The noise is coming from the plastic shroud beside the fan.
I told him I'd throw the question...
Mine are OK at best. The issue I have is that the rear wheels will squeel like a pig and lock up when it's humid out. I've adjusted them but that's not the answer either.
This is a local truck, and the owner is giving me the first shot at it if it didn't sell on Ebay. I should know in a week or so if I'll be making an offer to purchase. Thanks for your input Ed.
Here's a pic of my 30' camper I owned for 8 years. I sold it to insurance 2 weeks ago due to hail damage. It's old and heavy but my 6.5 pulled it like a team of well trained clydesdale's.
