Hit 5K on the oil.

WW says you have to request it in my UOA thread a week or so back. It's not a dumb question because I thought it would be automatic test in a diesel. It's not. My next sample will be sent out in a few weeks when I hit on the oil.

I'm gonna wait to see soot levels in UOA comparisons. My bypass filter system was expensive and so are the filters. I hate to say it, but I see a centrifuge in my Xmas stocking.

I haven't had it apart for a while, and was hesitant to change my avatar, as I am superstitious. I know it wouldn't pass scientific muster, but I would like to see soot levels with different builds and components ect. We all have different driving style, towing, tunes, IP's but we might be able...

Before I swapped a takeout engine into my truck, the oil would be sooty black in 500 miles. I didn't re-ring with total seal cause I hadn't heard of them in 2010(swap finished in 2013). With bypass filtering, the oil has some translucent left when looking at the dipstick. The sample was sent out...

You can get that spray at HD or Lowes. It used to be near where they sell the AC covers for Winter. It works OK and used to use it when I first got this truck 10ish years ago. I stopped using it when I started to take the cooling stack apart. It should work better on your screen as you can use...

I don't know how I missed the pic. I've been watching this, cause if you don't have cooling issues, I'm doing this. I don't know this would fly in WW's warm part of the world though. It looks nice and clean.

You also don't want that tranny ,even if they figured out the issues. If it were my luck it would live till the day the warranty expired, then die. This is a good thing even though it sucks.

Congrats on your beautiful truck. I got husky floor liners for my 97 and love them as well.

I've been wanting to see that for over forty years. Its such a long drive for me. I have been trying to decide on slide in camper or trailer. Cool Pic.

Can somebody send me a link for TSM for my 97. Its only been 10yrs without one.

Wasp traps are sold that attract them with pheromones. I've had no luck with them. Yellow Jackets ans wasps seem to be attracted to me though, and I hate them. I'm not trying to be funny.

I looked it up and it has to do with shift soleniod.

I finally got a sample sent out where I didn't have leaks or some other reason to add new oil between changes. The verbal report sounds good, but I am hesitant to extend out to 6K intervals. This is my former construction truck and it is my DD. It occasionally gets a max load in bed. Maybe once...

My post earlier was complementing the shop. They are hard to find, especially ones that allow input and allow the vehicle owner to throw in labor. When I was younger I had working relations with shops like that.

Sounds like they are doing a good job working out the bugs. Thats a good thing. Everytime I pay for work like this, the shop cuts bait and steams away. I get stuck with the problems. All work, with few exceptions are done by me.

It's probably just my my bad luck. It was the lack of tech support I got and the fact that they made a sales pitch for malware protection and couldn't figure out issue with laptop. My sister uses commercial version and they are reliable. I really like the Surface concept as well.

My Lenovo was broken right out of the box as well. Their overseas tech people made it worse, and I too fixed it myself. I will never get another one. It gets PIA glitches like screen won't brighten and then I have to reload the utility driver again.

After you get the small things worked out, when are you going on the road/trip in it?

Leroy won't be back from vacation till the 22nd. I would clean the grounds in the meantime. Don't buy cheap Chinese extension harness off fleabay.
